alice, so the dill pickle and mixed veg recipe are from the ball blue book. I hope so cuz I have that book. I just made pickles garlic. I love that stuff except I wish they would stay crispier. I am sitting here typing and think after a short brain fart, why didn't I use the new ball Pickle Crisp product from ball. Well there is always next year. I just finished 30lbs of garlic and I am about garlicked out.
