When Sarah was asked to make the Prune People for the Mifflinburg, Pa Christkindl Market, she wasn’t too sure how it was to be done. With a bit of research and lots of crafting, she has crafted quit a collection. It stems from an old German story of an old man who was very sick. His neighbor children came to help him. As he was very poor he could not pay them . So he made little people out of dried fruits and nuts and gave them as gifts. To this day it is a real treasure to have a Prune Person in your possession – esp a Chimney Sweep as he is to bring you good luck when you touch one. Sarah enjoys letting her imagination run as she crafts the different occupations of her Prune People. No two Prune Figures are exactly alike. Sarah has designed different Prune Figures to go with the theme of the yearly Mifflinburg Pa Christkindl Market. Sarah has designed several different sizes of the Prune Figures, a do-it-yourself-kit, and a Find The Prune Man Game. $8.00 – $20.00
Sarah Miller of Berlin, Pa. has made the prune figures for 20 years for The Mifflinburg Christkindl Market years 1997-2016, using the traditional German, as well as American folk life and folklore figures.
Becky Eshleman, Sarah’s niece has been involved with the prune figures at Mifflinburg’s Christkindl Market since Becky came with her parents to the 2005 Mifflinburg Christkindl Market at 11 years of age. A transition time of passing the torch of crafting the prune figures occurred from 2012 -2016 from Sarah to Becky.

Sugar Free Dill Pickles
Steve likes his hamburgers with thin sliced dill pickles. And we both like whole pickles at any picnic. As I had grown up on a truck farm where we raised lots of fresh produce I never did see any sense in buying dill pickles. My most favorite and easiest pickle recipe I got from my home where my mother got it from her mother. It is called … 
Saccharin Pickles
Now don’t get excited as it is hard to find saccharin on the store shelves any more. So I substitute the packs of sugar substitute that I can find. So here goes!
3 cups of 5 vinegar
6 cups of water
Bring the brine to a boil.
Add washed and cleaned cucumbers to the boiling brine. Watch them till they change color to a dull green.
In a clean and sterile pint jar put:
1/2 teaspoon of dill seed or a sprig of dill weed
pack in the hot cucumbers
add 1 heaping teaspoon of salt
1 packet of sugar subtitute.
Fill Jar with the hot brine
Put a clean hot ball or mason lid on the full jar and screw on the ring.
Let it set for 24 hours so the seal can set. Check the lid if is not sealed refridgerate it and use it. If it is sealed it will keep in a cool dark place for a year…unless you eat them!!
