We've had so many cucumbers that I followed temptation to try the first batch after only three weeks. They're great, sour, spicy, crisp.<br /><br />I jarred up five quarts of pickles, and started a third batch (fresh garlic from the garden too). We've only got two Harsch 7.5l crocks at the moment, though I'm tempted to get more. Even after starting the third batch, we've got about 10 pounds of fresh cucumbers. I harvested 20 today!ArticulateDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407769773596623808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002038439593481614.post-4464472569685995022009-08-22T21:20:59.241-05:002009-08-22T21:20:59.241-05:00This year I followed the same recipe (around the s...This year I followed the same recipe (around the same time of year), but I used fresh cabbage leaves from the garden, instead of grape leaves. At ~four weeks, the first harvest was great (if still a little immature, say 3/4 sours), and VERY crisp, crisper than I'm used to.<br /><br />I used a rather large "bunch" of fresh dill from the farmer's market, probably twice as much as I needed. But I'm not complaining.ArticulateDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407769773596623808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002038439593481614.post-38393653498340482812008-08-31T22:25:00.000-05:002008-08-31T22:25:00.000-05:00Sounds like a lot of measuring.

I don't know if they compare to yours but they were yummy when I was pregnant. :)"Tae's Mom"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04628193094377601772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002038439593481614.post-3518593374209075482008-08-30T22:26:00.000-05:002008-08-30T22:26:00.000-05:00I guess I could have said: First, enter your kitch...I guess I could have said: <I>First, enter your kitchen... turn on the light... check the faucet for water.</I> :) Thanks for commenting.ArticulateDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407769773596623808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002038439593481614.post-74295542538492059602008-08-30T22:17:00.000-05:002008-08-30T22:17:00.000-05:00Home made pickles are wonderful.

My mom always washed store bought pickles before eating since she was never sure if they were washed ahead of time (a little anal but we still love our parents). When she made her own, she would wash them before pickling the cucumbers so she knew she could eat the pickle without first washing it.The Adjunct Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997451247912489046noreply@blogger.com
