First pickles

[BamaProud]

Home Made Pickles(dill) from our Garden Cucumbers/dill Spears, traditional circle slices and sammich slices. 9 quarts should last us a couple of years:

...but if they are really good they might not last 6 months. How long am I supposed to I wait before trying one?

They look good. How did you prepare them? Vinegar or fermented?

 

[BamaProud]

Vinegar. ...half white and half apple cider. I just used a mixture of various recipes I found online.

 

[Grizzly Johnson]

Dang those look good!!

 

[DaveB]

Okay, if they are good, a jar will last maybe two weeks, don't serve any ham or beef they last longer. How could they be bad?

Now I am hungry.

pickles look great. the okra and squash in the background look a little past prime

 

[BamaProud]

My Squash is doing great. The Okra is just coming in good, those pods were the first and I let them get too large.

My Garden overall is doing fantastic this year. I think the Compost I started a year ago might be the key.

Along with the pickles, we've already made about 2.5 gals of Tomato Sauce just under a gallon of Salsa ate a ton of lettuce (pulled up the plants a week or so ago) and use lots of various garden herbs. Watermelons should be ready soon.

we have a ton of squash and okra and I have gotten to really favor the small one any squash over 5 inches or okra over 3 gets fed to the cows

Some people say wait two weeks. I pop one open and eat it whenever I'm ready. The major process is complete after it's canned and cooled IMO.
