Are those raspberry leaves? What do you use them for? I add them to my pickles because I don’t grow grape leaves.

They are raspberry leaves, but I was just gathering them for our pet rabbit’s breakfast. I’ve never canned with them. Are the grape leaves to keep the pickles crisp? I add black tea leaves
Yup, same thing
Does that actually work? Never heard of using berry leaves for Tannins. Just Grape and Horseradish pretty much.
It seems to work. I’ve never done a side by side but my pickles are pretty consistently good.
Never heard of using horseradish, I should try that next time
Dang I'm an outsider just looking in and learning a lot about pickling today.
I am completely flabbergasted that there is a tannin requirement for pickling and that leaves are the answer.
So cool.
Very cool. Also, bunny's breakfast would be a good username
My peas all died except for like 2 vines so I had a crop of 4 sweet peas so far... Rough heat.
But looks like a good enough spread to be proud of to me.
Thanks! Our peas did better than I was expecting, but I think it’s because they’re behind the netting that goes around our in-ground garden, so they ended up shaded from the sun.
Those peas look amazing! U shld post a pic of the pickled product
Thanks! I’ll try to remember to
