You bet, I grown some amazing cucumbers that bring it to a different level. That batch filled about 5 to 7 32oz jars. My goal was to market and sell it but canning it ruins it so scratch that.

It's hard to tell for sure, but it does look like you used little Thai hots. do you grow your own Thai Hots, they are my favorite pepper to grow, I just have a hard time finding a plant at a nursury in the spring, some years I find them, some years I don't, it's nice that they freeze well, so I can have through the years I can't find them.

I grow Thai hots, Red, Orange and Yellow. I LOVE Thai peppers!

I'd make a couple of changes. No vinegar. All the acid from limes. Palm sugar instead of white sugar. No salt, but change it out to fish sauce. Making me hungry now.

To each his own, my secret ingredient is a "seasoned rice vinegar" I get at a local korean store.
