I'm done for the season (I think) the count is 78 quarts of cukes and 30 quarts of pickled beans

The wife and I did 12 pints of Garlic dills last weekend and hopefully have enough to pick this weekend for another 12-16 pints. My cucumbers didn't produce much this year.

It's that time again......just got done with 12 quarts of Dilly Beans......next up is pickled asparagus.

Talking with the neighbor and they mentioned dilly beans the other day, think we might try that later this year if we have enough beans.
I think we are at 10-12 pints of Cukes this year.  Some from a recipe I found online and some from advice I got from Twisp  :tup:.  I need to get back out there and pick again as I know there are more that need processed.
In God we trust, all others bring cash.

Do not say, Why were the old days better than these? For it is not wise to ask such questions.

Canned 18 pint-1/2 and 40 pints of dill pickles today. Unfortunately this first 18 pints I forgot to add the pickling salt.

Is there any type of prep on cucumbers,  or do you just rinse and go for it? Never tried this yet but going to give it a shot this weekend.

I did some the other day and used Mrs. Wages recipe packet from Wal mart. Turned out pretty good.

Just wash them and remove any stems and or blossoms.
I think the most important thing for the cucumbers is to keep them as cold and fresh as possible. I grow my own so I like to pick them early in the morning, before the sun is on them, wash them and get them pickled an hour or so after picking. If I can't do that they go right into an ice water bath in an ice chest. You can keep a cucumber fresh and crunchy for a while but you can't resurrect one that's soft and wilted.

Thanks for the tips.  I have yet to make a good pickle, other than beets.

We prefer our Dill's on the Sweet Side.  :rolleyes:
Now back in the 1960's "Nalley Valley" in Tacoma had rows of Huge (Open) Oak Pickle Tanks. As Kids we always enjoyed watching the Rows of Seagulls, Sitting along (and into) the tops of the Pickle Tanks. :yike:
Those Pickles still have that special flavor that can't be matched!  :chuckle:
