To continue my canning kick, last night Miles and I put some of our cucumbers to good use and made pickles. Using my grandparents' recipe I slaved away over a hot stove (literally) and made/ canned 6 quarts of pickles.

Not knowing that you are not really supposed to store cucumbers in the refrigerator, we lost a ton of our pickle sized cucumbers, so we sliced some of our big cucumbers and pickled slices and spears.

In a couple of days we will have plenty little cucumbers to make whole pickles, but until then we are waiting 30 days for our sliced pickles to be ready to eat! 

Here are a couple pictures of our end product. We made Tzaziki sauce last night too, and besides it having too much lemon, I think that we have finally found a recipe that we like. I would post pictures, but Miles was so excited about it, I'll let him post those.
