A friend of my mom's gave her a bunch of cucumbers...
Earlier in the summer I had found my Granny's pickle recipe inside one of my Nana's cookbooks, so I decided to turn the cucumbers into Granny's Crispy Luncheon Pickles.
Mary Reese helped me slice cucumbers, onions & peppers...
We added some salt & let them soak for 3 hours...
Then we drained them & packed them into jars with some fresh dill sprigs.
I boiled some vinegar, sugar & spices. Then poured the boiling vinegar mixture into the jars...
I placed the jars in boiling water...
...to seal. After 15 minutes, I took them out & listened for them to pop...
This summer has been a scorcher! Just about each afternoon, we take a popsicle break. Owen loves to see the popsicles flying out of the freezer...
...I just wish he wasn't so messy...
...but I usually just turn on the sprinkler to clean him up...
He thinks that is pretty fun too!
