Staying cool as a cucumber...

... in the air conditioning, as we make refrigerator pickles. It's cucumber time!

It just wouldn't be summer without a pickle jar or two in the refrigerator. My little patch of cukes yielded enough today to make sweet pickles AND dill pickles. These pickles are easy to prepare and ready to eat in a few days. We love the crisp, fresh taste. For recipes / instructions, refer back to the June 18, 2016 blog post, "When life gives you cucumbers... make pickles!"

I was able to use fresh dill as well as fresh garlic, recently harvested from the garden. Bonus, some of the dill plants had dried perfectly to allow seed collection today.

My mom is visiting, and what a good help she is in the kitchen. She mixed pickling concoction, sliced cucumbers, and separated the dill seeds from the dried plants. What did I do, you might ask? I supervised, of course :-) Seriously, we have a good time working together to make deliciousness happen.
