Preserving the Harvest
One of the most important aspects of our curriculum is our connection to our community and family. Our local community of farmers offers organic produce for a song, so we picked up pickling cukes and now we (all of us) will learn how to can.
Pics to come…
In the mean time, this is the recipe we are following:
Dill Pickles
Pickling cukes (5-6)
4-6 heads of fresh dill (our dill didn’t come up this year, so dried it will have to be)
1 Tablespoon mustard seed
1 3/4 cups water
3/4 cup cider vinegar (we use the braggs brand)
1 tbs pickling salt
This is truly a labor of love, cause I hate pickles and the girls adore them.
