As I read a lot of post it appears that many of us are starting to "put up food". I thought it would be nice if we shared some canning recipes. I am really interested in Chow Chow recipes and recipes for canning meats & soups. Here is my Great Grandmothers recipes for old fashioned brine pickles. She was from Germany and these are salty brines. I sell out of these at the local farmers market.
Brine Pickles
27 med cucumbers cut in pickle strips
~soak cucumber strips in lime water for 24 hours
~wash & rinse well
~soak slices in ice water for 3 hours
~ drain and pack in prepared jars
~ in each jar add 2 cloves of garlic, 1 cayenne pepper, 1tsp of Dill
In large kettle mix brine
~ 6 cups of vinegar
~ 1 1/2 cups of Salt
~ 18 cups of water
Bring all ingredients to a boil
~ fill each jar to bottom of rim with brine
~ wipe down jar rim & put on lids
~ place jars in hot water bath
~ bring to boil
~ boil for 12 minutes
Let set for 2 weeks prior to eating.
ENJOY!
