Lime Pickles/Tasty Thursday

This last weekend when all of Sedalia turned out for the Missouri State Fair,

 including my daughter who brought me some of this,

 

I was here at home making a 3-day batch of

Lime Pickles.

Now you can use the recipe on the back of this package.

And I'm sure it's a good one.

But,

I have been blessed to have Grandma Hunter's recipe.

So time for some old-fashioned goodness on this Tasty Thursday.

Here's the Day 2 Soak.

And, yes, I had Plenty of cucumbers from my own garden.

Eleven pints to be exact.

With more to come,

I will definitely be in a Pickle.

Not the greatest joke, sorry.

 

 

 

 

 

The Art of the Note Tuck/ Tasty Thursday

I was beeboppin' along last weekend stuffing pickles in jars from our garden.........

I'm not known for a prettily packed jar of pickles just for the record.

 

Had them in the boiling water bath to seal up........

 

 They did turn out pretty after all.

Sweet Pickles. Ready to eat in 4 to 6 weeks.
 

And in the midst of all that canning, I found a little gem of a note, tucked away for a future smile.

Translation: "I believe in you Santa, but my friend Dunken does not."

Dunken, you are pretty well on the Coal list for Christmas.

Sorry guy!

Dedicating this Tasty Thursday to my youngest daughter :)

In Season/Tasty Thursday

It starts with this. First there's a couple cucumbers on the vines. Next thing you know, you have the market cornered with a bountiful harvest of these vegies. So what to do? Use this as a Tasty Thursday post!



 Yes, I've made these and that is the reason I'm confident it's a very tasty recipe. Around here we

"Put Up" for the year; can it, preserve it, whatever you want to call it.   

And my cupboards are bare of this particular pickle.

So it's time.

This weekend will be a busy one, but well worth the effort.

Thanks Aunt Juanita!
