I can't believe it's been February since I last got around to making a post. Spring has been so busy I fell behind in the garden. I did a lot of mulching earlier this week so it is beginning to look better, but I don't think I'll get the production I was hoping for. More on that later. Here's the pickle recipe I found on cooks.com. They are I modified it slightly.
- about 4 lbs cucumbers
- 2 cloves homegrown garlic in each of 12 pint jars
- 1/8 tsp dill in each jar
- good pinch of freshly cracked black peppercorns per jar
- 1 small slice of homegrown jalepeno pepper per jar
- 5 c water
- 5 c apple cider vinegar
- 5 T salt
Soak fresh cucumbers in lightly salted water overnight. Rinse, pat dry and slice lengthwise. Those that were too long to fit into pint jars were cut to length and the all parts packed into jars.
Boil water, vinegar and salt. Pour over cucumbers in the jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Let for three weeks before opening and enjoying.
