Thanks to both of you.

Lynda, off to pickle some mixed veggies with lots of peppers to keep DH happy <g>
----- Original Message ----- From: <Clansgian AT wmconnect.com>>

What makes pickles (especially cucumber pickles) rigid, or turgid, is the
presence of pectin in the cells. Present as well is an enzyme called pectinase
which breaks down pectin and thus makes the veggies go soft. Tannins in the
grape leaves block the enzymatic action of the pectinase. </HTML>
