   Ready to eat in two days (for half sour), let stand longer for
   increased sourness.
   
   (BTW: salt and vinegar may be varied to suit individual taste.)
   
   A further addition from the master pickle maker.....
   
   To make pickled green tomatoes....use the same recipe as above, but
   add a 2 ~3 inch piece of fresh celery stalk to the jar. Let stand for
   5 weeks at room temperature, then refrigerate and enjoy...
   
   Remember, do not use a bare metal top...the vinegar and salt will
   rust it and give the pickles a bad taste...
