		<description>Rachael, before my back injury (when we had a larger garden) I used to make several different types of pickles and relishes. I was hoping to do the same this year, but the cold and wet weather completely ruined cucumber crops in this area. We couldn&#039;t even buy cucumbers! Thanks for sharing your recipe... I will try it.</description>

		<description>Ah, if only my mini-fridge could house that much! Well, it could- it just wouldn&#039;t be in there all at once! My fridge staples are: eggs, soymilk [I&#039;m lactose intolerant], mustard, tamari, a pint of Mom&#039;s homemade jam, and whatever fresh fruit and salad vegetables I can cram onto the one little shelf. 

Out of curiosity, have you considered making your own pickles/relish? It&#039;s super easy and you don&#039;t even have to do any canning. Just dice up a few peeled cucumbers, maybe a carrot or a bit of onion or garlic if you want, and pack it into a clean jar [I use a repurposed applesauce jar]. Add a Tbsp or so of &#039;pickling spice&#039; or dried dill, depending on what kind of relish you want, and a Tbsp of salt, more if you like. And top the whole thing off with boiling apple cider vinegar. Put it aside in your fridge for at least a week, to let the flavors get to know each other. Voila! Homemade relish. I often do the same thing with shredded carrot, very yummy on veggie sandwiches.</description>

		<description>Terri, thanks for the recipe. I like that it doesn&#039;t have nitrites. Personally I would leave out the Liquid Smoke because I&#039;m quite sure that is soy-based... but it still sounds delicious and something I want to try.</description>
