Hey Kalyani!
Have liked ur FB page, following u on Twitter, following you on Networked blogs too, and of course, have sent in my funky Gooseberry (Rasbhari) and Thums Up Jam for the event 🙂
I love pickles and preserves of all kinds, and my favorite are the unusual combos - like pineapple and green pepper, mango with jaggery, pear with cinnamon... love trying out new preserves all the time 🙂
