OMG, these were amazing! They completely blew my mind. I've never made dilly beans before and never even heard of them before seeing them online, but I thought I would try them. I had no idea what to expect when I checked them after a week, but they were so delicious that I ate ten right in a row while standing at the jar. The first jar went so fast, I can't wait to make more! Thank you so much for this recipe! WOW!!! OMG, these were amazing! They completely blew my mind.

]]> Comment on Pickled herring recipe & how to fillet a fish by Lynne http://awesomepickle.com/archives/344/comment-page-1#comment-9654 Lynne Mon, 19 Dec 2011 08:28:53 +0000 http://www.awesomepickle.com/?p=344#comment-9654 It seems to me that a Japanese Pickle Pot or Press (like the one listed here: www.houserice.com/jappictsukpr.html) would be good for making these pickles. I'd guess that you'd have to move them from the press to a jar after the initial pressing process, but I would think this would be a useful tool for this and other pickles that need weighting. I hope to try this recipe after the holidays are over and things get back to a dull roar around here. ;-) It seems to me that a Japanese Pickle Pot or Press (like the one listed here: http://www.houserice.com/jappictsukpr.html) would be good for making these pickles.

]]> Comment on How to make kefir by Eric http://awesomepickle.com/archives/883/comment-page-1#comment-9404 Eric Mon, 05 Dec 2011 17:23:38 +0000 http://awesomepickle.com/?p=883#comment-9404 @Ann I think it was about half an avocado and two or three dates. I've always eaten the smoothies right after making them so I don't know what happens if you keep them in the fridge, but the kefir tends to separate a bit, with the thin whey floating to the top and the heavier bits (like little date pieces) settling to the bottom. If you're planning to make the shakes in advance, this separation might change their presentation when you give them--it might be worth doing a test to see how well the shake holds its shape. @Ann I think it was about half an avocado and two or three dates.
