August 27, 2009

Recipe: Sweet Pickles

August 18, 2009

Last year we had so many cucumbers coming from our garden, that I ran out of ideas for them. I canned multiple Bread and Butter Pickles as well as Dill–I even tried my hand at relish. I had no idea what to do with the rest of them, so I started flipping through my canning [...]
