Pickles!
Finally, finally, finally. We've been gathering produce from the garden for the last two weeks, mostly just cucumbers and green beans for now; the tomatoes are growing but still green. Finally this weekend we had enough time and enough cucumbers to pickle. We gathered all the stuff , chilled the cukes down, then presto-chango, we got pickles; 15 pints, 9 pints of Forever Crisp Dill and 6 pints of my favorite, Bread and Butters. Now we just have to wait a couple weeks and then check them out.
Ooh, pretty!
However, if you don't pick and fry up a couple of those green tomatoes, you'll never know what you're missing. Divine.
Day before yesterday I decided that I would "channel you" and canned 11 pints of Lemon Cucumber pickles. Most folks here in the "midlands" have never heard of Lemon Cucumbers. How about you?
