Pickles

 It's that time again! I went to our local farmers market, purchased a mess of cucumbers, washed & thinly sliced them.  
I placed them in a pickling brine for 24 hours. See all the frothiness? This means it's working.
 The next stage is the sugar & vinegar goodness which lasts 12 hours.
Finally comes the cold bath stage which is actually a hot bath process. Confusing but whatever gets me those tasty sweet pickles!!

    I've wanted to make some pickles forever. They are getting so expensive to buy good ones. So how much weight is a mess of cucumbers? =)

    Wow your process is different than ours. We just put them in the jar with the pickling juice. I see the merit of your process to get the shrinkage out and to pack more goodness into that jar!
