I only canned three pints of pickles. Already the cucumber harvest has been better. <br /><br />Dirt Lover, it works wonder. But I still need dill for canning later in the season. The trick works well for refrigerator pickles though.<br /><br />Sarah Ruth, and I'm picking even more this week, but the snap variety. I can't believe they are still producing in this weather.<br /><br />Karen Anne, Maybe I'll get a post out this week on that.<br /><br />Marcia, your welcome.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-70010363693058182932010-07-07T06:45:50.487-04:002010-07-07T06:45:50.487-04:00Thanks for the pickling recipe.

We didn't get a drop of rain which is unusual. Usually it rains on us at least once if not more.<br /><br />Ribbit, They are so good. I bought a whole bunch camping with me and handed them out to the group for lunch. They were quite tasty.<br /><br />Marcia, yes I have it up already. http://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/2008/07/frozen-basil-and-summer-pickles.html<br />I'll probably do another pickle post with a repeat at some point this year.<br /><br />Melissa, good luck with your fall peas. My fall peas are never as prolific, but still quite loved.<br /><br />kitsapFG, I couldn't imagine summer without pickles. I just love them too much. Sadly the rest of the family doesn't since they are so easy to make.<br /><br />thyme2garden, henbogle, Emily, Megan, thanks<br /><br />Mac, there are a lot of names for it they used to call it Yukosai Bitamin-Na. No clue as to why they changed it. It is probably different names in different languages.<br /><br />Jeana, thanks<br /><br />Shawn Ann, I so love raspberries. Summer and fall are great because I get to have them on my cereal all the time.<br /><br />Taylor, pretty much. I usually have a couple of big jars in the fridge (sometimes more) with brine in them. When I harvest cukes I just toss them in (unless I want to can them). Once the jar fills up I move to another one and eat from the old jar. They keep a very long time. I don't have to salt the cukes beforehand either like when you can them. But they have to stay refrigerated. Right now my jar has snap peas and cukes in it. I make the brine when I harvest the dill usually.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-61573796517199383032010-07-05T15:19:42.535-04:002010-07-05T15:19:42.535-04:00I'm curious about your "always in there&q...I'm curious about your "always in there" picking brine!
