Ya you heard it folks, I'm on a quest for the perfect pickle......Pickles just so happen to be my favorite food...or at least its up there in the top 5 for sure....very close to the top of the top 5..just so you know how serious I am. I LOVE PICKLES.....there its out in the open for all to hear and see....
Ok people...lets get serious. I know how I feel about pickles....how about you. Did your grammy or memere make the best pickles ever and you wish right at this very moment you could have one....I know I am planning a trip to my memeres in hopes of absconding with the recipe for dilly beans...Oh did I mention I love all kinds of veggies pickled....green beans, carrots and cauliflowers...cabbage and red onions etc etc.......each requiring a special recipe to enhance the flavors of the veg...
So why am I telling you this you are probably wondering....well I am hoping you will comment on this blog with a recipe....Part of the reason I am on this quest is because my husband has thrown down a challenge to me, to put away all our food for a year in the soon to be constructed root cellar. So a years worth of pickles is a lot of pickles....and imagine if you could a year full of crappy pickles.....oh the horror....I am not sure I could make it through....So I need your help, your expertise in the field of pickle making....
Here are some very simple stipulations. The pickle must have crunch...a pickle is not a pickle without some serious texture...I need the snap and crunch....
It can be of any flavor...such as dilly or garlic, kosher or bread and butter, mustard or gherkin...I would really love to have a recipe for cornishons...Variety is the spice of life right...
So I will post picks of the canning process and finished products and tell you all how each one turns out....Here is your chance to help out the friendly female farmer..
Thanks Ya'll
the friendly female farmer......
