I have cucumbers coming out of my garden faster than I can eat them! Here's how I enjoy them all year and get a jump start on what's going in the Christmas baskets this year. The Thyme and Allspice are unconventional ingredients that add a unique taste. This recipe makes 9 pints but you can definitely adjust the ratios for smaller quantities. The longer they sit, the better they taste. Plan to fix ahead of time (like a week or two ahead) and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve. I make huge batches and then when the picnic/cookout invites come, I'm ready.

Yummy

Love them on a bologna sandwich

*This recipe uses no turmeric but you can add 1tsp to get anti inflammatory benefits along with great added flavor.

I literally discovered how wonderful these squash pickles are accidently. I had run short on cucumbers and wanted to use up all my pickling liquid and spices. So yellow squash it was, and continues to be a favorite every year.

The brown sugar gives these B&B's a bold flavor and the red pepper gives them a nice little kick. They have a good flavor as soon as they are cooled but the flavors will deepen if allowed to sit for 24 hours. I am told they will keep for about a month in the refrigerator, but I have never had a jar that lasted that long.

Bread and butter pickles are thought of as old fashioned but whatever fashion they may be, they are delicious! Hope you enjoy them (:

Great appetizer while cooking on the grill.

One of my family's favorites. When I was a kid I remember picking strawberries in the fields and at lunch with would have these sandwiches. It was the first sandwich I remember eating. I should have been around 4 years old.
