Phew! Finally back on the blogging horse. No excuses, just gardening, harvesting, roofing... Okay, I have a hundred excuses in my pocket ready to go. But still. At least I came back.
So here's something I've been up to this summer: Pickles. The last time we made pickles was four years, a different town, and many grey hairs ago. We ended up with 50 quart jars of pickles, and now we have two left. And, oh boy, do they have some torque. Imagine, four years to absorb all that extra garlic!
So this time our dill pickles should be milder. We had hoped to make 20 quart jars of dills, but due to overzealous filling broke a couple jars in processing. Such is life.
We also made sweet pickles this year, which will make my pickle-cheese-and-cracker-craving tummy happy.
We bought our cucumbers and dill at the farmer's market and rushed home to get to work.
In a few short hours we had pickles to last us the year.
And that's pickle magic!
