Let us take heed we do not sometimes call that “zeal for God and His gospel” which is nothing else but our own tempestuous and stormy passion. True zeal is a sweet, heavenly, and gentle flame, which makes us active for God – but always within the sphere of love. It never calls for fire from heaven to consume those who differ a little from us. It strives to save the soul – but hurts not the body. True zeal is a loving thing, and makes us always active to edification, and not to destruction.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, peppercorns, chile peppers and boiling
water, and stir until the salt dissolves. Stir in the cold water, fresh
ginger, and vodka or sherry. Put the vegetables of your choice into a
Chinese pickling jar or 2-quart glass jar.  If using a Chinese pickling
jar, seal with water according to the instructions. If using a regular
glass jar, simply cover with plastic wrap.  Do not wrap tightly as gas must
escape.  Allow the pickles to sit, unrefrigerated, for 24 hours and serve.
The pickles will keep for several days if sealed and in the refrigerator.
