Recently I was reading Flythroughourwindow.com and Darby put up a recipe for homemade pickles.
Well, cannin' has always been on my bucket list so off I went to gather the ingredients needed.
Hubby and I actually made a night of working in the kitchen together, we had a blast!!
The house did reek of vinegar and dill weed for a few hours but hey, totally worth it for the pickles.
(set out a small ramekin of baking soda and the smell will be gone within an hour)
Step1: Cut onions.
Step 2: cut all the cucumbers
Step 3: place in mason jars
Step 4: Add cider mixture.
Go here for the cider mixture and full directions.
Refrigerate without lids for 24 hrs. and then add lids and they are ready in 1 week. yippee....
Check 1 off the bucket list!!
post update: after 2 years we still have the pickle starter and all we have to do is add either regular cucumbers or pickling cucumbers to the mix and let them sit for a while sooo good!!
