You know you've been blogging for a while when your son looks at the white pickles
and says "they taste great but are kinda anemic, how are you going to get a picture of them mom?".
RubyWare to the rescue son:@)
1 lb sliced cucumbers, less than 1/4" thick-preferably pickling cukes, skin on, but any will do
1 medium onion sliced
4 cloves garlic sliced into at least 5 slices each, dice them up if you really-really love garlic!
2 Tblsp kosher salt
3/4 C sugar
1 1/2 C white vinegar
3/4 C water
- Put veggies in medium sized glass or plastic bowl.
- Heat salt, sugar, vinegar and water to a simmer, stirring to dissolve salt and sugar.
- Pour vinegar over veggies, it should cover them.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Over the next 48 hours stir occasionally.
- After 48 hours divvy them up into jars or freezer bags and store in the freezer.
- Thaw in fridge and enjoy!
Your son's comment is hilarious, Lynn!

Oooh, garlic, pickles, and home-made fresh! These have to be fantastic Lynn!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me think of my Grandma, who made THE BEST pickles, and sauerkraut and just everything!
ReplyDeleteWhat your son said cracked me up, because when it comes to doing a blog post, it's all about getting that great shot, isn't it?!
haha, your son sounds just like mine; never afraid to tell it like he sees it! But I really appreciate that I have people in my life like that! I think your pickles are quite pretty and sound delicious with the garlic! mmmm mmmm mmmm!
ReplyDeleteLynn, if my life slows down in the fall, I am definitely trying some of your pickles. You tempt me every year and I have not gotten around to them yet.
ReplyDeleteYou know it's sad when the non bloggers in the family start asking about the pictures. My Dad...and my brother when he visits....stops to ask if I need a picture of the food before he can eat. Hee hee.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used to make homemade pickles from a recipe given to her from an old Southern lady. We haven't had them for years though. Your recipe sounds wonderful though and how nice it must be to have the fresh produce from your garden to make them.
Funny thing, my aunt Dorothy made these delicious pickles. When I was pregnant with my third she sent me a jar and I ate the whole jar in one day. You brought back a memory today. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jeanne
Laughing at your son! My husband recently was about to toss something that I had replaced away. He looked at me, completely seriously and asked if I had taken my picture yet. (Hangs my head...)
ReplyDeleteThe garlic pickles sound yummy. I am committed to growing cucumbers again next year. I want to grow more jalapenos too. You can take the credit or blame for that. You choose.
I love pickles of all types and these sound really amazing. I have to give your recipe a try. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a good pickle and these sound great! Love your ruby ware and hope you showed your son your great pic!
