Picked up 35lbs of pickling cukes today at the market ; fresh picked and young too . Will give this a whirl tomorrow and am going to use my own peppers in them .

 

[hillsdown]

All done , quick pic before covering them all up and hope they all snap . Then can go into the cold room tomorrow .

She was my inspiration for trying . Know I will not be able to come close to hers but perhaps in a few dozen years , I may get close !

E will let you know in 2 months how I did .

I wish I wasn't still trying to master not burning toast, I would give some pickles a try and hope they looked half as good as yours! They look delicious.

Those pickles do look good how long did it take for you to get all that done?

 

[hillsdown]

Thanks everyone !

Now the question is just how soon is too soon to try them . I have one very impatient household . :lol: mainly the husband . ;-)

All but a couple snapped so they went in the fridge to finish up and we will eat them first . I also screwed up a batch of brine so 3 jars have half as much vinegar than what was called for so do not know how crappy those will taste . My nephew called me crying that he wanted to come back to live with us , I had just dropped him off the day before . Broke my heart to hear an 11 year old little boy so unhappy being at home , was hard to concentrate on what I was doing . :frowns: Picked him up last night and so he is back here with us , he is one happy little boy .

If you should find there is about 15 jars missing ... It was me I wanted to taste them to make sure they are safe for you and your family to enjoy the rest ... :lol2:
