Last weekend I made dill pickle spears out of two giant cucumbers:
These two cucumbers made 6 pints of spears!
Then this week I picked these four cucumbers:
Maybe a quart of fridge pickles…..
I’ve been giving them away too, not to mention that I also grew my usual Mini White cucumbers, which I’ve also been giving away at least a few of, as well as eating.
I will probly stick to my usual Mini White cucumbers from here on out, but these are fun at least.
In other news, I made a batch of tomato sauce yesterday. I realized that I never actually take a photo of the final sauce, and I ought to, since black tomatoes produce a much darker sauce that folks expect:
I love the flavor of these tomatoes though.
I love preserving season!!! Your cukes are HUGE omg!!! 🙂 I did some canning lately too and I plan to do a lot more!!
enjoy!
