Pickles, Pickles, Pickles!
My friend Charity and I spent about 7 hours making pickles today – she also bought a box. We quartered some, left some whole and made some into crinkle chips. We ran out of vinegar and spices, so will have to finish things up tomorrow. We used Quick Dill Pickle recipe on all so far, adding 1/8 teaspoon alum to each quart jar. My chips will be sweet chips. The ones that I soaked overnight are the ones I used to make spears, we did not put alum in their jars. It will be painful to have to wait a whole month to try them - I really hope they turn out good!
Here is Charity's daughter and one of the two trays of pickling cucumbers...

Here I am filling up some jars to go into the water bath...
