Too many cucumbers?? Make Pickles!

Harvesting a garden, oh my, it's finally coming true! We've enjoyed lots of yellow and green beans and a few tomatoes, but this week a few cucumbers were finally ready! We ate a few raw and they were so crunchy, like a potato chip. Since our family loves pickles we decided to have a try at making some!

Elisabeth did the chopping...

While Brenna worked on the vinegar mixture.

Our 3 1/2 cucumbers (Silas and Brenna ate one half) made three nice jars of refridgerator pickles.

Here's the recipe we used:

Fridge Pickles

On the stove, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 2 tablespoons of salt and 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Let this mixture boil for about 5-7 minutes. Then, pour into bowl with cucumbers (about 6 cups of sliced cukes.) Add to jars and you're done!

I've always been a pickle lover and these are fabulous!
I wonder when more cucumbers will be ready?
