Pickles, but NOT Cucumbers

 


When Abby planned her garden, she planted cucumbers.  Oddly enough, she does not eat cucumbers.  But she loves pickles. 

So this morning, when she discovered a cucumber on her vine, she was pretty excited.  She picked some of her dill, and used the cucumbers from both my garden and hers, and started a batch of fermented garlic dill pickles.  

Fermentation is such an awesome way to preserve small harvests.  

In case you are interested, here is a short video on our quail set up.

  2. Awesome! I have cucumber planted, but they aren’t doing well. Our summer has been too cool for them thus far. Pickles are a great way to use them though. I like bread and butter myself.

    1. I stumbled on a fermented sweet pickle relish today. I assume it would work to make bread and butter style as well. I will try them if I get more pickle cucumbers and let you know!
