When I was a child, we made pretzels at home but the recipe got lost. I am so glad to have found this. We would make them in other forms besides the traditional knot. mostly, we made them in the shape of our initials. Thanks for bringing back childhood memories.

It's a new social site that you participate in by pinning photos you find on the web or have in your computer. You put them on boards and people can like, comment or repin them onto their boards and you can do the same with theirs. I love these pretzels and wanted to share the recipe with whomever wanted to make their own. Also, they may want to join just a pinch to get other recipes. The pin will send them back to this post. I hope you don't mind.
