The Pickle Queens Are On Hiatus

With the cucumber crop now at an end the Pickle Queens are officially on a break until next summer.  It is hard to believe that we are done with pickling but we still have all of the pickles we made to remember our best season yet.  I do not have the exact count of how many jars of pickles that we put up this year but I know it is well over 200 jars.  We got a little creative with the pickles by making four different flavors: bread & butter, zesty bread & butter, stevia bread & butter and dill. Then within those flavors we made a few different styles of pickles: slices, whole, sandwich, spears and relish.  The best part of this year's batch of pickles is that they are crisp.  Anyone who received our pickles last year I am sorry for the mushy pickles they had good flavor but they were mushy.  This year, if you receive them, they are so much better and crisp.  It was a good pickle season and we will be enjoying the pickles we made all through the year.
