I have never seen a pickle style recipe that uses brown sugar. Cool! I am going to save this and try it this summer. Thank you!

Maybe once I get this cough kicked and it is too hot to be outside - I will try some canning again
We are having a garage sale this weekend to get rid of everything we brought back from the lake property and I moved 6 dozen canning jars from the garage sale stuff into a shed. No sense buying any more when I have plenty in storage.

Kass - Since you took the time to post 4 adorable pics (did he take those?) I wonder is it just your hubby who falls for the sappy eyes of strays?
