• **If coriander seed cannot be found, can use 1 teaspoon of ground in its place**.
• ***I generally put 1/2 habanero pepper, diced finely in with each pint for a spicier pickle which we all prefer, however, I didn't include in the ingredients. I put them in the jar before adding vinegar solution, however, it can be added later if you find you want to try a spicy taste, just let the jar sit for a few days before trying to give the habanero a chance to share it's flavor.***.
