Bernice: that sounds good. I cheat...try using bread and butter pickle brine mix. I use that when canning hot hungarian wax peppers. stuffing sterilized pint jars 4/5 full with peppers cut to 3/4 inch chunks..then pouring boiling hot brine to the top. top quickly with cap and ring,then flip them upsidedown on a clean towel for 30 minutes. then flip back over, and as they cool,you'll hear the caps pop as they seal. refrigerate before eating ...crisp...sweet...then hot. killer. lol
Mélusine: I'm not a big champagne (as its marketed in the USA) drinker. I'm more of a California Merlot drinker,though I am always on the lookout for a French bottle from near you,to try!
Just curious..red with beef ..white with chicken? or (like me) it doesnt matter?
