Another Day, Another Cucumber.


Or three, or five, or more. The cukes have been the most successful crop by far this summer. We're overrun. Today, we tried pickle-making. We used an old family recipe for bread and butter pickles. First, I sliced the cukes and onions, then salted them, covered them in ice, and let them sit for three hours. Next, I mixed sugar, vinegar, and spices, brought it to a boil, added the drained cukes and onions, and boiled it again. Finally, we put it in jars and processed it. Ta-dah! They need to sit and pickle for four to six weeks. I'm looking forward to trying them.
