[QUOTE="donna723, post: 378578, member: 1883"] It's been years and years since I made pickles, back when we lived in the country and we had a big garden, so I don't remember all the particulars. But they were as good or better than the ones you buy in the grocery store. We planted all kinds of stuff but it seems like the only things that really grew well were the cucumbers, squash and green beans. We put up dozens of jars of pickles and froze enough green beans to last a year! This brings back so many memories! When we were kids, my grandmother (my dad's mother) canned practically everything! They had both come from farming families and even though they lived in a residental area, they had a big double lot and raised practically everything they ate. They had a huge garden with all kinds of vegetables, fruit trees and grape vines. She canned all the vegetables, made every imaginable kind of jams and jellies, even whole or sliced fruits for pies. They raised chickens too, for the eggs and the meat and she would even can whole, stewed chickens! In their basement were rows and rows of shelves all along the walls with hundreds of jars of her canned foods. I used to love to go down there and look at it all! [/QUOTE]
