He picked a peck Wally—and depending on the peppers—a peck is equivalent to 36.7074 cups—so it depends on the shrinkage rate of the pickled peppers and I would assumed they have been drained of the pickling liquid
yes—it you pickle it, it will loose weight and volume in the pickling process—or depending they can plump back up—juices from the pickling vegetable or fruit can be pulled out by the brining solution, leeching into the pickling / brining solution—but should plumb back up—kind of like bringing chicken—in hopes of making it moist—so it kind of depends on your technique and freshness 🙂

Haven’t a clue Wally as that would depend upon the size of the peppers. My question is how quickly can you say that sentence?

Deborah raises an interesting question. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, who pickled them? Must have been a God thing.

Logic tells me that peppers could not already be pickled before being picked so the answer is none.

Ha! I’m with atimetoshare. The answer is zero because you can’t possibly pick pickled peppers. They don’t just grow on trees, you know.
