I read a ton about canning and looked through lots of pickle recipes. Then I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I even got to use my fancy crinkle cutter to slice the cucumbers- first time to use that toy. Can you believe I had pint size canning jars in my laundry room cabinets? I don't recall buying those, but I sure was glad I didn't have to search the stores for them. I had to make a quick stop at the grocery store for mustard seeds and cider vinegar, but I had the other ingredients.
It didn't take a ton of time, and now I have 3 beautiful jars of pickles cooling on the counter. I just hope they seal properly and the experiment can be called a success. I'll keep one jar, give one to our friends who share our garden plot, and have one left over.

proud of you! those are beee-you-tee-ful! and am sure they will be delicious! I remember long ago trying to make pickles and I dropped a jar back into the pot of boiling water when sealed and it broke....there went that jar of pickles and the water was a mess. carol
