It's that time again......just got done with 12 quarts of Dilly Beans......next up is pickled asparagus.
I'm done for the season (I think) the count is 78 quarts of cukes and 30 quarts of pickled beans
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.
