"pick me.pick me"







Hey guys!


I am planning to do some pickling this week. I went to the market today and Picked up a variety of peppers, both hot and mild, some red beets, tomatillos, and some tiny potatoes .
I am going to try and find some mason jars tomorrow and can my goods.
Does anyone have any advice or secret recipes?
If not then wish me luck and wait for pics

my only advice/concern is what you already know, I think -- canning the low-acid stuff (the beets? potatoes?) is always risky without a pressure cooker 'cause of the risk of botulism. It's why I gave up making antipasto every year.
I look forward to seeing what you make and maybe even sampling the wares eventually.
love, mom

Okay Meagan, I surrender. You are one amazing woman. I would never even consider pickling. I only see it as a huge job with a big mess to clean up. I must say however that I do enjoy the fruits of other people's labour. Pickled asparagus, beans, garlic.....yummm!

winnie sends you a kiss. she's been drooling quite a bit lately, which is kind of gross and cute at the same time.
