Amy, your pickles look yummy. Since I'm alone, I haven't made any for the longest time. I have a 7-day pickle recipe that is absolutely delicious. It gets a little stinky in the house while making them, but if you have a porch to set them on, all the better. They are really good. A farmgirl neighbor of mine gave me the recipe. She was a really good cook and canner.
My first attempt this year will be strawberry jam. Will pick the berries tomorrow afternoon after my doctor's appointment.

AMY.. Great job! The only bad side of canning - is "store" bought will never taste good again :)

Amy, I made refridgerator pickles 8 gallons worth! I didn't have any canning jars when I made them. They were easy- just vinegar, salt, sugar, celery seed, onions, bell pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes and the cukes. they are so good!
I just got through canning 34 qts and 24 pints of salsa- then 10 more gallon bags of crushed tomatoes.
I need more canning jars..
Blessings, Debra
