It started with garlic. I could never find a pickle at the store that had enough garlic, so I figured why not make my own? Half a garlic head later, I found the sweet spot. I'd call it reasonable. Others might disagree.

Then I wanted to try a sweet pickle, but what was the fun twist? Dad keeps bees, and his honey is quite flavorful, so came the floral, sweet honey pickle.

Spice is up next: the garlic recipe plus serranos, once I settle on a reasonable number of serranos.

Every jar is made a quart at a time in my fridge and given away to family and friends. If you're holding one, its recipe is a click away. If you want another, just ask.
