Pickles are happening today.

Pickles are happening today. Right now. Those are Canadian hothouse variety (seedless) and gigantic, so I cut them to fit in the pic 😛

We don’t have Kirby cucumbers here…which is the typical variety to make pickles with. These are getting sliced into chips.

   I like making pickles, plus I’m saving money by doing this. I have everything needed to make them (salt, vinegar, mustard seeds, garlic, peppercorn, fresh dill, red pepper flakes) and I think this will make two quarts or a quart and a half. Pickles are usually expensive and only when they go on sale 2 for $5 these days at my store (pint jars) are they ever sort of cheap. These two big cukes were purchased on a BOGO sale so I paid $2.49 for both (not each).

   I really should make my own. I’m up to my ears in fresh dill. That, and pickles are basically the best things EVAR!

   I don’t know if they ship it – The label said “Product of Canada”

   They are also wrapped in cellophane, where the label is, so maybe they are grown in Canada, but packed elsewhere, then shipped to U.S.? I’ve seen it happen with things like Salmon

   Terry McNeil I got a pic of the label: http://imgur.com/eJF3Zsh

   Looks like maybe they take a trip through Mexico? Or else the product is still considered Canadian (the seed) but grown there? Here’s what I found: http://www.lakesideproduce.com/our-advantage.php

    Stephanie Bird – did you end up doing anything cool with your dill? Or did you leave it out for buns?

    Bobbi Jo Woods I used some with some roasted potatoes one night, but otherwise haven’t used it. I definitely need to put some out for them though.
