I've been making crock pickles for about 3 years and this is the first time I've had this problem. My brine is crystal clear but has a reddish brown tint :
4 quarts water
1 quart vinegar
3/4 cup salt
fresh or dried dill weed
garlic
1 tsp. pickling spice
dried hot peppers
The only thing I can think of that would cause this, is the peppers. I dry my own ( a combination of Jalapino & Habeniro ), so what I'm asking , is there anyway to tell if their ok to eat, other than to chance eating one. Has anyone had this problem before ?
