BG's first Pickling Project
« on: Aug 02, 2007, 07:27:00 PM »
We picked our cucumbers after dinner last night & put them in to brine.

Today, with the kitchen clean, jars washed & boiled, (I do that...just cuz I can) and ingredients lined out, everything was ready when BG got back from Soccer Camp... except selecting the dill heads from the garden, which she fetched & washed while I showed her how to peel the "paper" off the garlic cloves.

If it weren't for the boiling liquid part, a child could do this. (Really! Even without making a big mess in the kitchen!) :ThumbUp: First, she put the dill heads & garlic cloves in the jars....
     

Added the spices....
     

"Stuffed" the jars....  :laugh1:
     

Then poured the hot 'pickle juice' in....
     

All that was left to do was to put the lids on, tighten the rings down, tidy up the kitchen, take a picture....
     

And wait to hear the lids ping! We just heard the first one, after a half hour :Yahoo: & are patiently waiting for the other two!

Oh, Patty, those pickles look awesome!!!  :Wow: You really have quite a little helper there.  ;)  She is always going to remember all these things you did with her.  ;) You certainly are building some wonderful memories for her.  :smile:  :ThumbUp:

Jim bought some pickling cuke seeds yesterday for us to do a second planting. I can't wait to try this recipe! If BG can do it, surely I can, too... :grinnnn:
