Make your own pickles?

[Veritas]

I have made a few batches of pickled green beans that turned out excellent. Fresh dill, white onions, fresh garlic, a pile of cayenne all went into the wide mouth jar before stuffing it with the beans and filling with brine. I added a habanero to some of the jars to really kick up the heat. In my celery-averse opinion, these things are the only way to garnish a Bloody Mary.

I think the next batch will have black pepper added.

I'm glad to hear some one mention beans. That was next on my list of things to try. I love pickled beans and hadn't tried making them yet but figured there was no difference between beans and cukes in terms of process. Anyone pickle any other veggies I was tempted to do some pickled mushrooms or brussle sprouts as well.

I've used that recipe before, it is good.

I grew bored with the cooked peppers and the oil, so I went searching for somethng that would have pepper with some snap to it, not unlike a pickle, and I've been using this one of late and it's been working out quite nicely.

In fact I just made up about half a gallon worth of red jalepenos, a quart of red fresno peppers and a few mixed jars w/ onions and carrots too earlier this evening.
