Yes, its only two years old. Nowadays though I access most of my

Thank you! Im going to put this one to the test soon. I also was surprised
at the noodle thing. I did mac n cheese for my first meal. It couldnt have
been easier, and I appreciated not having to dig out my colander. Tonight
Im experimenting with baked beans.

I want to add that I used the same ratio of vinegar water and sugar (I
switched to honey) and used peppers instead of cukes.

At Costco they have 6 peppers 2 red 2 yellow and 2 orange for 6
dollars and that is a great price so I picked up a couple.

I then cut them up into about equal sized 1/2 inch pieces and jarred
them and poured in my vinegar solution.

I used the same process to "cook" them in the airfryer as I did for
the cukes above. Oh I used plain white vinegar this time also. This
"cooking" process is not to preserve the contents, it is not to seal
the jar either. The cooking" process is just that. by heating the jars
to 185F for 30 minutes (I used 190F because it is in an airfryer) it
allows the pickling to occur in 2 days vs. the two weeks it would
normally take.


Thank you for listening, have a dice day!

I dont know how much sugar/honey you used, but you do know they dont swap
out equally 1:1 in recipes, right?

Well I went primarily just by how much vinegar I used. If I had a 3:1
water to vinegar I had a 2:1 vinegar to sugar.

3 cups water, 1 cups vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar/honey.
The ratios between sugar and honey are so close I dont think it would
matter much.

Honey has twice the sweetening power of cane sugar.

The discrepancy is because yoose honey is not nearly as good as
Popeye's honey. It's the finest and most powerful honey on the planet.
