The bushel of cucumbers produced 8 pints of kosher dill spears, 15 pints of kosher dill chunks,8 pints of dill chunks and 7 pints of sweet pickle relish. I then took the dogs for a walk…boy am I tired. I didn’t sit very long while I was processing the cucumbers. I did have time to print labels for all the jars and cut them out while the sweet relish was soaking in salt water (2hrs).
Now to clean the house for the new bed and my mother in law!

I found a bushel of pickling cukes waiting for me when I got home today.I wasn’t expecting them until the end of the week. My mother in law (who I LOVE !) is due on Tuesday and our new mattress set is arriving Tuesday or Wednesday. Somehow everything happens all at once. I think my mom is also due to visit sometime in the next 2 days……I am going to be tired! Tomorrow I will be making kosher dill pickles and sweet relish and possibly more bread & Butter pickles. The Peaches are coming in now and the pears will not be far behind! Thank goodness for the freezer, I can freeze the peaches and use the later when I have more time. I still have plums in my freezer from last year and need to make jam out of them.
