Our garden always produces an abundance of cucumbers and a good amount of jalapeños so I like to pickle them . Today I made six pint jars of bread and butter pickles and one quart jar of bread and butter jalapeños. I decided to go ahead and use the water bath canning method for the pickles. I had tried that once before and I never could get the huge canning pot to come to a boil! This time I used a smaller pan . Plus I no longer have that “safety” burner on my stove . But I used the quick refrigerator method for the jalapeños because they won’t last long. My son loves them! I used Martha Stewart’s recipe .
Do you preserve your garden produce? What’s your favorite method or recipe?

I don’t have a garden any more but there is nothing better than something just picked fresh out of the garden. You’re cucumbers look delicious 🙂
Yum, thank looks great!

I also love to make pickles with the cucumbers and adding jalapiño spears into the recipe for dills is a great addition too! Last year I also tried lacto fermenting jalapiños from the garden and these were also fantastic.
Im getting so excited for gardening season, but we are still a couple weeks short of being safe to move things outside here.
I don’t garden, but I love homemade pickles 😄
My son told me he went to a restaurant this weekend and was served pickles and , making a face, “They were subpar”! 🤣
