I only stacked them i on altitude of each other inwards two regular oral cavity pint jars. I didn't peel them (though y'all could) because the pare is perfectly tasty together with edible fifty-fifty subsequently pickling. I went for a tropical topic to the flavors to mix it upwards a fight together with used fresh ginger, giant kokosnoot flakes, mustard seeds, star anise together with fish peppers (you could role cayenne peppers instead) from my garden for a fight of heat.
