The hand continues to heal, and in the meantime, with one hand I’ve continued to do my thing. Blanch and freeze beans, and yesterday, with the help of my husband, we began the process of making Moon Glow Pickles.
- 6 quarts cubed cucumbers (ripe and yellow)
- (cut into quarters lengthwise, peel and scoop out seeds and cube)
- 3 large onions cubed
- 1/2 cup canning salt
- 2 green pappers chopped
- 2 red peppers chopped
Put in large pot cover with water and soak overnight, drain and rinse.
Then add:
- 12 whole cloves
- 2 TBSP mustard seed
- 6 cups sugar
- 1 quart cider vinegar
- 1 tsp. Tumeric
Cook until soft and kind of transparent. Pack in hot sterilized jars. Yield 10 pints.
So, today, Hubby and I will finish off and can these pickles. They are one of our favorites an a great way to use a cucumber that is overgrown and just sort of got away from you by hiding in your garden.
Yummy Pickles! Love YOU, Mel
Those look delicious!
