puttin' up some pickles


I've always longed to create memories in a summer kitchen. I'd tie on my vintage flour sack-apron, bring in the fresh, crisp produce from my tidy garden and put up the best of summer in my pantry...for winter, you know. Sort of like Little House on the Prairie.

Today. Today was a little dream come true. My sister & I spent an afternoon at Mikamy Meadows, where the lovely Amy shared her talents with us by showing us how to can pickles. From washing, slicing, packing to brining, water-bathing & more...what a delightful afternoon!

Thank you, Amy!

What a fun thing to do~pickles. Love the look of the finished project. That is such a sweet looking flower arrangement in the first photo. I like tha casual look. Have a good day. Dogwood

My Aunt used to make Ice-box pickles when I was a kid...those were some of the best pickles ever. These look great too!
