We made our first batch of Moon Glow pickles yesterday. I had previously cut up and set to soak the 6 quarts of pickling cucumbers, and yesterday we decided to do the actual cooking and canning of the batch.
I measured out the vinegar and spices and simmered it until the cucumbers were done. By then the canning jars were sterilized and we got down to work.
I already have another group of cucumbers that will be ready for pickling early next week. Suddenly, with a little bit of rain, the cucumbers and squash are growing like crazy!
Hi Mom,
Hope you had a good day yesterday, and a fun time making pickles. Stay cool today–I hear it is supposed to be quite humid later in the day! After work, I’m taking Gram out to dinner tonight–probably to the Fish Market….
Love you,
Mandy
Great shots! Those are my all time favorite pickles!
It sounds like you guys have been really busy. Your kitchen is beautiful. Give the puppies a scratch for me.
You’ve been busy! Looks like a lot of hard work!
Wow! Good looking! Both you and the pickles and the kitchen 🙂
