What kind of cucumbers do you folks grow??? I grew up with the normal pickle style ones. Got over here 22 years ago and the variety are long and skinny and taste a little different (still good but different.. not as crunchy).... Because they are tender, they soak up vinegar and make a decent salad but just aren't the same...
Wife and I were at a leftovers store the other day where we pick up (whenever they have them) 50 pound bags of carrots and some other horse goodies along with some cheap tools, canned goods, etc...
1st thing I saw when I walked in the door was 10 pound bags of "normal" cucumbers... The 1st ten pounds are coming out my ears about now..
Is there a simple (and safe as far as food poisoning) recipe for pickles around? EX MIL always made bread & butter pickles that I liked. Can buy the little bit of dill pickles that I may go thru in a couple years at the store. We have a vinegar distillery a couple miles away that puts out some real good stuff that tastes real close to the sweet pickle taste. Is it just as simple as buying a jug of that stuff and soaking/canning the pickles (sliced of course)?
Thanks.
