23 qts of pickles. 7 on top have thia peppers in for some heat.

Nice Smurfy! My cukes have a way to go. Our spring was a lot later down here this year. Do you use jalapenos? Do you put a clove or two of garlic in the jar too?

[smurfy]

the peppers are a thia chili pepper, and yes i put 4-5 pieces of garlic in each jar along with sliced onions!!!!!!!!! i used to put 6 peppers in but in my older age that got to be to much so i cut it back to 4. i would think Jalepenos would work though!!!!!

Nothing better then homemade pickles. We did 84 quarts last year but the kids didn't eat all of them so we are going to skip a year.

i still have some from 2016, most from last year yet but i like to stay ahead. how do they say it........i like to let them MELD!!!!!!!!! that was a 1/2 bushel, smaller batches makes it not so over whelming. especially on a work nite.

sure. the brine consists of 2 qts water, 2 cups vinegar and 1/2 cup pickling salt. 

add dill, garlic and onion to the jars. then add the brine and let sit for a few weeks to a month.

 they don't get sealed so I reuse them. they sit in the frig. as far as the rims, as long as they don't fold up when you squeeze them a bit there still good to reuse...…..to each there own. been doing it for 30 years with no issue!!!!!!

Are you open to adopting?

[smurfy]

Figured as long as I'm filling jars, I'd fill a few more. Made 2 more 2 gallon jugs of pickled cukes, 4 qts saurkraut, and 2 batches of frig pickles.

[smurfy]

Cookin salsa, drinking beer, listening to rock and roll. Don't get no better then that!

[Jim Almquist]

Sounds like a plan Smurf !!!!  

 

 

[smurfy]

Well the 13 pints of salsa is put away. Today it was 14 qts of stewed tomatoes, 7 pints tomato juice. Also did a double batch of summer cukes and a different cuke recipe. If that wasn't enough I mowed the lawn also. I'm [PoorWordUsage]ed!

[Grainbelt]

I've been dehydrating these smoked lovelies on the porch. They can bring a tear to your eye!

[smurfy]

Looks like severe heartburn to me!
