    Just one word of  caution  about the proportion of water to citrus
    pickle. Thinking I could speed up the process of pickling, I added
    much too much of the citric acid.  It did a speedy and great job of
    cleaning my silver, but the next day, when I went to use the pickle,
    I found that it had solidified into a solid mass  at the bottom of
    my pickling container and had cracked the ceramic insert of the crock
    pot  which I use for pickling. What an unpleasant surprise.  One
    nice crock pot totally ruined.  So, watch that citric acid/water
    ratio when using a crock pot. Wish I could join you all in Tucson. 
    Not  possible this year---maybe next.  Have a wonderful time all of
    you.  

Alma
