You could make Kosher Dill Pickles, Bread and Butter pickles, Hot Kosher Dill Pickles and Mustard Pickles... You could mix it up a bit and use the same recipe, but use white vinegar instead of cider vinegar. How about doing a batch of whole pickles and the next half them?? How about giving 12 pounds of cucumbers away? In the end remember your feet and lower back need a massage and time to recuperate...
About one month ago I called a local farm to see if they had pickling cucumbers available. The lady over the phone told me, "not yet, but in a few weeks they will be ready." So I ordered two 25 boxes of cucumbers, thinking that 50 pounds wasn't too much. Oh boy was I wrong!!!
In the end, my book project went out the door when I got my phone call from the farm I ordered them from. My project and many other things have been on the back burner and I will be starting on my book project on Sunday, Aug 29 - take two.
I haven't been too lazy - other than making 51 pints and 7 quarts of pickling products - I have done some small stuff that makes me smile as I open my pantry and other cupboards in my home.
Clutter - you are moving out!
Ooh! Post your pickle recipe please, I just got some Cucumbers in our CSA box and I need to get them pickling ASAP. Your blog is lovely and I am pretty sure I happened across it awhile ago! I will add it to my reader now, can't wait to follow along with your ranch adventures.
