My recipe called for 12 cups of water, 4 cups of vinegar, and 2/3 cup of salt. I wondered if my brine was too weak or if I should have blanched them first. Any ideas out there.

I've added a note to that post, asking people not to use it until I can look at my notes and the recipe source to determine the problem (although I think you're probably right - too much salt). I'm currently on my honeymoon, but I'll be back in Philly next Wednesday evening and will check it out then. Could I send you a jar of jam as a small apology for the recipe disappointment?
