I started my pickles last night.  It’s quite a process so I have to be in the mood.  Hubby helped me peel all the cucumbers and then I cut them up and soaked them overnight.  Today when I got home from work, I started sterilizing bottles and cooking the pickles.  They turned out great!  I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad batch.  I was able to get 10 bottles from this batch.  Now I have to start the process all over again for a second batch.  Oh well, it’s worth it!  Can’t wait to enjoy them tomorrow with some new potatoes and fresh veggies.
