Wife's in a bit of a pickle so no range day for us

[vinjet700]

My cucumbers did absolutely nothing this year. Not even enough to make one batch of pickles. Last year, however, I made just over 12 gallons of bread and butter pickles. Now that's a lot of jars!

Ours was lite this year too... same with tomatoes

My wife adds a little surprise to some of hers and drops a habanero or 2 in the jars... Dill, garlic dill, b-n-b... All with habanero.. Good stuff of course regular too...

This thread just reminded me that we have pickles in the fridge. Not home made, but the good old Vlassic ones.

Thought about jarring peppers this year and then said "screw it" and ate them all. Maybe next year. lol

Homemade pickles are one of the few things I'd trade ammo for.

You sure? My .22 stash is a little lacking right now. Here are some of what I have left from last year. Had to stash them away under the bed because we ran out of shelf space.

I made some spicy dill spears with cherry bomb peppers and jalapenos some I added carrots...garden cucs and peppers.

I just finished 3 days of canning bread and butter pickles and jalepeno peppers. Can't wait to shoot next Sunday and plan to bring blueberry muffins.

Nice!

I wanted to ask you over and I heard you were out of town. Let me know when you are back and we can do a huge brunch and then go over to Hap Baker.

I make good biscuits.

I just canned nearly a bushel of apples.

Wonderful taste of summer in the winter months.

She has a custom recipe or which does she follow?

 

[wilcam47]

I prefer apple butter...canning takes a lot of time but the flavor/taste is worth it! I wont ever buy store bought jam/jelly/apple butter!

Go homemade and it's hard to go back.

I sure do miss my Grandmothers mayhaw jelly.

How sweet!

It's a date. Mmmmm, I love yummy biscuits.

 

[wilcam47]

Fresh biscuits not out of the can...and homemade jam/jelly is the best...

Let us know in 12+ weeks how they turned out.

.I'm not sure they will last that long.......




She did 2 bushels of Roma's last weekend. That's why I had to go to Hap last Sunday by myself to try out her new Glock 17. It was the least I could do to help....

Glock worked fine.

Ah, you've gotta let them age.. I thought 12 + weeks was the magic number?

 

[wilcam47]

Is that for the specific recipe? The recipe I use for pickles says 24hours...

 

[FrankOceanXray]

I have found canned items for the most part do get better with time, to a point.

I have not seen a recipe require time to sit, though.

The pickle recipe I got from a friend said wait 24hrs...but I can see that just to get the flavors to soak into the cucumbers...jelly/jam etc doesn't need that IMO...just some time to cool and "set/jell"

 

[Arcamm]

I'm running daily tests to see when they reach optimal flavor. Good so far.
