Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
A recipe for crisp canned cucumber pickles . . . I made these fresh from my garden and will have many many months of yummy, tangy, crunchy pickles to enjoy!
Ever wonder why deli pickles taste so much better than any other pickle? You can find out yourself with these refrigerator pickles. They taste just like pickles you get in the refrigerated section at the store, only home-made!
These classic half-sour pickles use a tea bag, a few carrot sticks, and a cold soak to encourage crunchiness. Packed with the flavors of garlic and dill.
One of my favorite afternoon snacks is something that is pretty simple. It can be grown in the garden and jarred. Extra Hot Cucumbers. They are virtually fat free and wake up your senses in the middle of the day!
Sun Pickles sit in the sun from 3 days to a week depending how sour you want them. Mine sit in the sun for three days. I have to keep the kids and my husband out of the jars because everyone is testing them after the first day.
