You got it. I've made them before but not with pickled japs. Thought I would give it a try.
Down here of course we have a lot of choices. I have found that the La Costena brand tend to be less hot than other brands of pickled japs, but they still have a good flavor. Just a note if you need to please some folks with a more "sensitive" palate.La Costena makes them. Usually packed with carrots in a can. Have you checked your Ethnic Food section at your WM?
