Yesterday's Harvest

This image is of the cucumbers we picked yesterday. We have more of both sizes. The large ones are so large across that one slice fits nicely in a wide mouth jar. It has been too rainy to check on them.
The instructions say to put the spices and slices in the jar, add Kosher salt, white distilled vinegar and distilled water. Let them set upright twelve hours then upside down twelve hours, then open and try them.
So at 9 tonight I should have a verdict for you. We made four quarts of the refrigerator pickles. Supposed to consume them within a month. I think I will make and can relish out of the smaller ones.

This recipe also suggests pickling some other veggies. I may try later, we shall see.

@vsai2008 They are tasty. I put a lot of garlic in them and you can certainly taste that as well. I think pickles are fun and healthy side dishes.

@LadyDuck I like the ones that are stuffed with cheese and then wrapped in bacon and cooked.

@GardenGerty I will use some to make jalapenos jelly, may be I will stuff the others with cheese and fry them.

It feels good to be able to do stuff on my own.

@Mavic123456 I have not grown much, mostly herbs and then cucumbers, sweet peppers, and I may have some tomatoes.

@GardenGerty This is my dream to be self sufficient some day, somehow I am doing a bit planting on my small space.

It has been quite a few years since I have done any pickling or canning or anything like that, but it was fun. I will probably end up doing quite a few.

Yes, it is. I like that we have had rain that has made them taste good too.

They taste so good and fresh. I have grown long beans but it has been many years.

Nice looking cukes. I hope they turn out just as tasty as they appear!

I hope so too. I am going to have to look up some more recipes, though. I think relish might be nice.

Early in the season, when we were not getting rain and I did not water enough, even the small ones were bitter. These did not taste bitter at all.

They should be good. Now I have to find room in the refrigerator for them.

How do you eat cucumbers? Are there other things that you like to pickle?
