I know several people that worked there growing up.

Then it is ground up strained and diluted with vinegar some how.



Ferment a jar and make sauce with them I want to grow some this year.

Just fixed a pickling brine for some green tomatoes that cracked off their stem. Apple cider vinegar, equal parts salt and sugar, peppercorns, crushed red pepper and garlic. About 3 weeks should do it.
