  • 5. Cut the Poblano pepper and add that to the pot.
  • 6. Chop the pickled cucumbers and add to the pot.
  • 7. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 8. Add 3 tablespoons honey "depending on the level of sweetness " you prefer, add more or less.

  • 20. Once you have these handy, you'll be surprised at what you can add them to!
  • 21. NOTE: These are citrusy from the lime juice and sweet from the honey. You can control how much citrus flavor you like in the brine of the vegetables by adding more sugar. And taste it before adding it to the vegetables.
