My Mother-in-law makes these every summer.
 
They are SO YUMMY!!
 
Last year was the first year I tried canning, I did tomatoes, mostly, and also made a peach ginger jelly.
 
Canning can be time consuming,  but the rewards are so…. well….
 
REWARDING!!
 

 

 
 
If you have ever planted cucumbers, and been successful, you know that typically they are 
quite the bumper crop!
 
Most people are like “seriously, what am I going to do with all of these?!?!”
 
These pickles couldn’t be easier to make.
 

 

serve them on a cracker as an appetizer
 

 

or just eat ’em out of the bowl like us!
