Since most of us that raise a garden have gotten things coming in I going to give you a sweet pickle recipe that I use.

SWEET PICKLES

MAKE 7 PINTS.

 

7 Lbs. Cucumber

1-Cup Slashed Lime

5 Lbs Sugar

1 Qt. Vinegar

1/2 A Bottle of Cinnamon Stick

1 Tsp. Mace

1 Tsp. Turmeric

1 Tsp. Whole Cloves

 

Wash & Slice Cucumber

Day 1 Wash and soak 24hr. in Lime Water

Day 2 Day Rinse Thoroughly twice in cold water

           Drain & Soak in mixture of Sugar, Vinegar & Spices

Day 2 Day Cook 20 min. slowly

           Start Timing after boiling starts

Pack in warm clean jars.

 

 

Tips that I use.

 

When I wash the jars I rinse them in hot water and leave them in the hot water till need them.

 

Spray inside of bands with Pam to make bands to bands go on tighter and is easer to get off.

 

After jars cool and lids have seal I take off the bands and clean the outside of the jars. Over time the bands will rust and be hard to get off.

 

Put jars in a dark place to keep from turning dark.

It don’t hurt the sweet pickles they just don’t look as good.

 

1 Lb of cucumber will make about 1 pint of sweet pickles.

 

I make a little extra juice so that I have plenty.

Roy? do you have an easy one to make "half" sour pickles?
 
 
also: I came up with a new Crock-pot recipe today and I must say- it was very very tasty....
 
3  1/2 inch thick pork loin slices
1 11 oz can Campbells pork and beans
1 15 oz can Cannelli (white) beans- rinse them to get rid of the salty liquid.
1 cup (8oz) rice
2 cup (more/less) zucchini squash sliced about 1/4-1/2 inch thick
1 cup baby carrots
20 cherrys pitted
1 large peach pitted and sliced
--
lightly pepper both sides of pork slices
pour in pork and beans
put in carrots
add rice
mix
put pork on top
add 1/2 of the Cannelli beans
add 1 cup of the zucchini
add 1/2 the cherrys and  1/2 the peach
add 1 cup (8oz) water
---
cook in the crock (slow cooker) on low 2 hours
then
add the rest of the beans, zucchini, cherrys and peach and mix.
*if it looks like it needs more water, add 1/2 cup to 1 cup
---
cover and continue to cook on low
---
total cook time on low about 6-8 hours
*look to see if it needs more water (the rice needs the water) maybe 3 times total)
----
this came out looking and tasting almost "creamy" and the pork was fork/spoon tender

Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd tell you that I made a wonderful pot roast in my crock pot the other day.  The meat, veggies and seasoning packet all came in one package.  I woke up in the morning to get ready for work, put it all in the crock pot and when I got home from work in was done.  Hubby really liked it and that's the most important part.  It's all for him anyway.  I'm not a big meat and potato kinda gal.  Next I have some chicken breast meat I thought I would throw in the crock with some potatoes and cream of mushroom soup. What do you think?
Have a Wonderful day!
Talk Soon

Yellow Pickled Squash

         

8 cups of yellow squash (slice thin)

2 cups of sliced onions  (slice thin) 

2 cups of sliced green peppers  (slice thin)

1 tablespoon of canning salt

2 cups of vinegar

1 teaspoon of celery seeds

3 ½ cups of sugar

1 teaspoon of mustard seeds

 

 

Combine squash, onions, salt and pepper.

Let stand one hour in salt water, then drain.

Bring ingredient to a slow boil for 4 or 5 min.

Then add squash, onions, and pepper.

Bring back to a slow boil

Cook 5 min. Start timing after it starting boiling.

Pack in clean hot jars and seal.                                         

Store for 6 weeks before serving.

 

Make 4 or 5 pints.

 

Tips that I use.

I use some Red Peppers to add color to the mix.

 

I use regular salt instead of canning salt.

 

Spray inside of bands with Pam to make rings to make bands go on tiger and is easer to get off.

After lid seal take ring off. The rings will rust and is hard to get off.

 

Keep the jars out for a week or so to make sure that the lids stay seal. Sometime you will get a piece of squash, onions, salt or pepper

under the lid and might take a week for the lid to come unseal.

 

Put jars in a dark place to keep from turning dark.

It don’t hurt the Pickled Squash, Onions or Peppers.

They just don’t look as good.

Hi Everyone 

Am still around. Done with chemo and now am at the healing stage. I just hope it doesn't come back somewhere else. Don't know what the next step will be for the m.s. treatments.
Diana I have a simple recipe for potato salad family seems to like it.

Cook your. taters, cut them up after you peel them. Add onion also boil up some eggs, I use 4-5 family likes eggs. Chop those and add to potatoes and some salt and pepper some dill weed. I finely chop some dill pickles and add chop them so small you can't really see them but the taste is there, it gives it the what is in here taste. Dressing is simple put some mayo in a bowl eyeball it add a little yellow mustard some vinegar and add to salad taste to make sure you have enough salt and pepper, sprinkle with paprika. It goes over well at parties.
Sounds like everyone is busy with gardens. I don't seem to be busy with anything, what a summer.
Diana go for the oil. I remember when I was young standing on the registers for warmth and how hot they got. I loved it. Not much else going on right now. Everyone try to stay healthy and take it one day at a time.

Glad to hear that you doing better Jill. I know that I speak for everybody when I say that I hope that it don't come back and that you keep on improving. It like any old man told me a long time ago. Getting old and sick isn't for sissy's.
 
Sound like you cook like I do when you said to eyeball it about how much mayo to use. That the reason it is hard for me to give people some of my recipes. I make it with a dash of this and bit of that. Most of the time I don't never know how it going to turn out till I finish what I making.

Hi Everyone
Jill,
Good to hear you're still hanging tough.  You are a trooper!
I hope everybody out there is doing OK.
I was wondering if it's OK to put a pound of ground chuck with a can of Manwich in the crock-pot or if I have to fry in skillet.  Thinking ground chuck shouldn't have a lot of grease and should be OK.  I've never crocked ground chuck only meats like chicken and pork.  What do you think?
Thanks
Diana

Hi All.
Jill- and Jill, good to hear from you both.
 
Di- I don't know about the ground chuck--- maybe put a 1/2 cup or cup of rice to help soak up the liquid...
Write a critique
 
later,
Lin
