I had planned on working on Tom’s room most of today, but hubby had a different idea. He spent the entire morning outside harvesting in the garden. So my afternoon was spent freezing 2- 5 Gallon buckets of green beans, which are now safely in the freezer. I froze a few heads of Brocolli. I cut up and flash froze the 6 greeen peppers from our garden. I then cut up our cucumbers and am making refrigerator pickles.
I tried this recipe…but had to triple the brine to actually have enough for ice cream bucket full. I have never made these so I hope they turn out. I didn’t want to get out all my jars and things to make pickles today!!
