5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for outer crunch
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2023
I got this pickling lime to make pumpkin candy and oh did it turn out a treat.

I soaked my pumpkin in it for 2hrs which I guess preserved or hardened the outer body and allowed the inside to be cooked while keeping the outside crunchy.

I have not used this product or brand before but will most certainly be using it again.

Highly recommend.
