Making Pickles!

This should probably go on my food blog, but I have sadly neglected it lately- I'm too busy making pickles! We probably have close to twenty jars now stored in our pantry. That's a big money saver right there (we go through at least 2-4 jars of pickles per month and at $3 per jar that's another great garden money saving resource!).

Boiling the water in our water bath canner

Cutting up all the cucumbers and putting them in jars

Gotta add garlic- everything is better with garlic

Savanna is my "brine girl"- stir, stir, stir...



We tried making relish for the first time- looks pretty good



Once the pickles are packed and the brine is poured in, time to can them


Boil them in the canner for 10 mins

And Voila! Pickles!
