Today I Made pickles!!

Today I started to make pickles using my own cucumbers!!
Now I have to wait 3-4 days before trying them. I have had a note on my kitchen cabinet for quite some time; the note said:
"look into pickling"


Since my cucumber plants have really started producing I figured I'd better get to pickle investigating. Thankfully the Lord loves that I procrastinate so He made sure I watched the Martha Stewart show last week where they...
dun, dun-na-nahhh...
pickles!!

Enjoy these photos, recipe link at end of photos.

Introducing... Journey of the Cucumber





Soaked cucs in ice water, gathered my ingredients.

Soaked cucs in pickling mixture, placed a small plate on the top to keep them under water; sealed the whole thing with saran wrap.
Recipe link is here, I will post pictures when pickles are ready to eat!!
