Pickling

Emily & I made 30 jars of pickles (cucumbers, zucchini & garlic) today. I had a goal to finish by 2pm and at 1:57pm walked Emily out to her car. 5 hours of canning fun! Pickles are sooooo much easier than last year's jam, applesauce, peach extravaganza. Not nearly as much prep, not nearly as much mess, not nearly as much time. We used my mandolin for all the slicing. It was a great help. If only there was something as convenient for making spears. Made kosher dills, sunshine pickles (like bread & butter but not as much sugar), and a vinegar/wine combo for the garlic.
