August 28, 2011: We pickled our 2nd annual batch of delicious dills. Connor picked up 10 lbs of pickling cucumbers on his way home from Yakima. We used our own home-grown dill...
You can also see our gigantic sunflower in this pic....but the dill doesn't show up too well.
We put a slice of sweet Walla Walla onion in the bottom of each jar..along with garlic and spices.
We packed each jar with as many cucs as we could fit and a fresh dill flower. Connor made a few jars with jalapenos and red pepper flakes.
Voila! 12 beautiful quart jars full of salty dill pickles. Since we still had some spicy dills left from last year, these should get us through the winter... We will gladly share with anyone though - Just come by for a visit!!
Those look beautiful. I was hoping to get enough cukes from my cuke plant this year to pickle, but I am not much of a green thumb gardener. here's to better luck next year
ReplyDeleteThey don't look as beautiful as the Tuckers do! But they do look yummy!
