    A word about citric acid pickle--  When I ran out of standard
    pickle, I mixed up some citric. I got impatient with it, and threw
    in the tiny bit of Rio pickle I still had. I can't give
    measurements, but I would guess that it amounts to maybe 10-20%, if
    each were mixed with water and combined. It seems to me that this
    has produced a very effective, much safer but still fast pickle. I'm
    still using that batch, so I have not had occasion to try to
    duplicate it. Does anyone know any reason that this is a bad idea?
    It seems to me (with no scientific basis) that the addition made the
    pickle just about as fast as just the Rio pickle, despite being
    mostly citric. Has anyone else tried this?
