I use a pickle recipe that was designed for putting up green tomatoes to
make cuke pickles. They are a lime-crisped, sweet pickle.

Sounds good!

I picked out a recipe designed for green tomato pickles and decided to add
hot peppers to it. (Tony Packo's in Toledo [if you used to watch M*A*S*H
you might remember Klinger raving about the place] has some killer sweet
pickled green tomatoes with hot peppers in them.)

I was all set to make the recipe when I looked again and realized it didn't
call for any sugar. Since it had the usual sweet spices like cinnamon and
cloves and allspice I had just assumed it asked for sugar. I ended up
combining a couple of recipes.

I got distracted and let the green tomatoes cook too long. This seems to be
a continuing problem with me and pickles. Anyway, to aid in crispness I
added some of that Ball Pickle Crisp stuff to the jars. The ones that
didn't fit into jars taste fine, and it's about time to crack a jar open and
try the finished product.
