Adventures in Pickling

So what do you do when someone gives you a vegetable you have never seen or heard of before?  Google it.  Today, thanks to the bounty from Christine's garden, I came home with Mexican Sour Gherkins or sanditas that are now on their way to being tasty little pickle bites.

I used this easy recipe from A Gardener's Table but added some garlic and some hot chili flakes.  I also pierced each one with a fork as per the bloggers revised instructions to help with the pickling process. Three days and we will see how they came out.
