Do you have a jar with an ingredient list?

Carol

We always have a jar on hand and I've thought often about trying to make them... Good thing I've been lurking when I have time.

Here are the ingredients....
Cucumbers
Peppers
Water
Sugar
Vinegar
Salt
Garlic
Chili Peppers
Alum
Natural Flavor
Tumeric
Sodium Metabisulfite
1/10 of 1% Sodium Benzoate

OK, that's very helpful. Ignoring the preservatives of course, someone on the Forum may have a recipe that comes close and I'll look for some possibilities later. Of course Pickle Crisp can be used instead of Alum.

Sodium metabisulfite is a preservative to prevent oxidation. Its available from many wine making supply companies. I used it when I dried potatoes to keep them from turning black. They key here is- "natural flavor', without knowing more, is it a spice, spices, extracts, tec.. Who knows.. As to the sodium benzoate, thats only for canning safety and is also a preservative.

Thanks for all your help! I love these pickles. They are expensive here, so if I could even come close it would be great. I am going to browse through some recipes today and see if I might be able to find one.
