fresh from the garden

It's been a busy time in the kitchen lately,
and with fresh pickling cucumbers from the garden this week,
I decided to make some refrigerator pickles...


I brought these straight in from the
garden to the cutting board within minutes...
I used a combination of this recipe, which I
used last year, and this recipe,
which I hadn't tried before.
I did cut back the sugar a little.


Instead of jars, I'm trying them in some of
my old refrigerator glass containers.
I love picking these up cheaply from yard
sales and using them for food storage
rather than plastic.

Hope you're staying cool--the heat index
was over 100 F here yesterday,
and I was melting--very hot for us
northerners, but just what we look
forward to after a long cold winter!
