If anyone was curious: I ended up making an old recipe from a book my mom has - one of those ones put together by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the legion where she grew up. Or similar to that anyhow, it was either that or a church group, basically ‘old favourite recipes from our homes to yours’ kind of deal.
Delicious pickles. Will probably make salsa soon, I am going to have tons of tomatoes to use up very soon.
