From a cuke to a Pickle in 24 hours .. here is the end of the line for canning cukes,they are now pickles.
Thanks Jewell, I plant to make many more of them. I put them on the canning shelves an eat them year around . We like them better than store bought . I also make relish later. Those are bush cukes, best I ever had them grow. barb
They certainly look delicious. It has been a few years since I've put any away and there is no beating home canned pickles.
Your 100% correct. These are sweet ones. I had only 4 jars left an hoped for cukes this time. b Bush cukes were grat , but they did crawl>??
You betch, nothin' better than home made pickles. Mm mm good. Were these cukes as good fresh off the vine? I do like cucumbers...
The cukes were awesome fresh off the vine I was cutting Beans an eating cukes when hubby walked in. He said are you eating raw bean, I said no an showed him I found cukes. He didnt know. They are real sweet fresh. Loads for dinner an supper. b
I was given a bushel of cukes and they have been processed and are on the way to being awesome garlic dills! I canned 3 quart cases and two pint cases...chips, spears, sandwich slices and whole, yummers!
Delly Wonderful. Your a better person for that. I dont do dill much any more , hd likes the Kosher ones. My main ones are these called Million dollar pickles. And of course in the end I do relish which I love. b Thanks for looking in.
