One Harvest, One Day, 3 Pickle Recipes!

[@donnarichey144]

I am waiting for my cucumbers to try some pickles. Thank you for sharing.

[@leannekenyoung]

WOW Bev you never cease to amaze me!!! How you manage to do all that work in one afternoon is absolutely amazing and creating a video at the same time! I can’t even seem to get through one canning recipe let alone three different ones! You are an absolute marvel and I can’t wait to see Howie’s and your reaction when you try each of them! I bet they will taste amazing! God bless and may you continue to reap an abundant harvest of cucumbers because I was just thinking how much money you will save not buying jars of pickles! Awesome!🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦 Also thanks again for the other day when singing Happy Birthday to me you really put a huge permagrin on an old gal’s face!🥰

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thank you so much I'm in a great deal of pain today LOL

[@anniec1550]

Love doing pickles....great job ❤

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

TY

[@dawnbaker9274]

This reminds me of my grandma preserving the garden. Thanks for the reminders.

[@shellbell72]

You can also use strawberry leaves to make pickles crisp when you make them. 😊

[@longarmsupplies]

I also just heard we can use strawberry leaves for tannin content. Girl, I've been pickling for year and never thought to store the cucs in pails of ice water to get a bigger batch going! You're full of so much knowledge!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

That's one of the joys of getting old you have lots of experience to draw on. 😘

[@hummingwind8869]

I never knew about slow processing pickles. Thank you so much for teaching this Bev, you are a gem. 💕

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

You are so welcome

[@terryboivin9173]

You had your own assembly line going! Good job Mrs. V! I am impressed! 👍😁

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thank you! 😁

[@chrisb5391]

That is work well done!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

I’m thinking of making bread and butter onions. I can put in and potato, macaroni, chicken, tuna salads etc. don’t have to worry about the onions going bad.

[@pamelacourtney8998]

That sounds good. Smart idea. Blessings to all ❤

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Sounds great!

[@AprilSeamand-xe8ug]

I saw 2 bumblebees yesterday during my 5 hours in the garden. But, I think the issue is the 2 airbnb next to me. They have professionals come in to spray for mosquitos. I think it's harming them.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

OH NO! I would complain to them and have them put out a mosquito coil, or whatever. Spraying is not good!

[@lindabopp6579]

You amaze me just how much you do in one day. And to be able to keep each different recipe in your mind. Can't wait to see how they all pass the Howie test. God Bless 🙏❤🙏

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Bless you Honey! (((HUGS))) When you have been doing this as long as I have..recipes stick in your brain!

[@FredaCassidy-e2p]

[@Justamomdoingthestuff]

Awesome job Bev. Can’t wait to hear how they turn out. 💕🥒🥒🥒🥒💕

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Me too!!

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

A spoon works great at taking out seeds.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Great tip!

[@midwestern925]

😂👍 NICE

[@sherryleach2995]

Awesome job, Bev. You make it look so easy. I know it's a lot of work. Much love from Thunder Bay Ontario

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thanks so much! I'm in a lot of pain today but I'm feeling very accomplished

[@sherryleach2995]

I know things have to get done, but pushing yourself so hard will not give you a step ahead. Just a step to bedridden. I pray you get pain relief. Much love from Thunder Bay Ontario

[@citygirlhomestead]

great looking pickles

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

I always think dill fronds make pickles taste so much better than dill seed. The seed just doesn't impart the same flavor, in my opinion.

[@AprilSeamand-xe8ug]

This year in my infinite wisdom, decided to focus on 3 vegetables instead of dealing with 12+. I thought I could rotate each year. Its been a weird year here. My cucumbers and beans are weeks behind. Cabbage is on schedule. It's so weird considering the early spring!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

My Beans are behind..my cukes are giving up and I had to pull my cabbage back in June!

[@BelovedLeah]

I can’t grow anything as I live in the city so I buy direct from a farm. I get pickling cubes $12.00 half bushel and make B&B pickles. My neighbor’s grands eat my pickles by the pint.

[@loriflarson4236]

I love bread n butter pickles!

[@lusnorthernhome3410]

I’m lay my jar on its side to start packing them for spears.

[@wilmabaker4500]

Awesome ,I love making pickles.I bet those will be so good ,except I don care for sweet pickles.❤👍❤️

[@Jomama02]

No mustard seed or pickling spice in the dills? I guess everyone has their own way with pickles. I know I've had all kinds!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Nope only dill and garlic

[@itslowtide4690]

⁠Sometimes simple is the best! Yes, we can all put a beautiful red pepper in the jar, a round slice of onion, a grape leaf, peppercorns of various colors, or mustard seeds, etc. But it truly isn’t necessary, is it ☺️

[@amywade9827]

The pickles are beautiful!

[@CoastalGardening]

Hi Bev - Does the large jar of Dill Pickles go in the refrigerator?

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Nope once it's sealed and cool down it goes right into the pantry

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

May I ask ... How does it work with the dill pickles to be filled to the top with brine, rather than having a little head space on top? I've never seen that before. Something to do with not going into a water bath?

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Using hot sterile jars in boiling hot brine you fill it to the top to overflowing so there is no airspace and it makes a difference in the self-sealing

[@itslowtide4690]

Bev, do you have any knowledge or experience with making a low or no-sugar bread and butter pickle? My sister asked me to make some for her and I’ve never made them before and not sure it’s possible and have a good tasting sweet pickle at the end.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

No I'm sorry no experience at all

[@alicecilva4534]

Yummy!❤

[@valentinaleissler4212]

Good Lord dear Lady! Watching you use that large knife to cut the seeds out of the cukes just gave me new grey hairs!!! Please be careful Bev 😵‍💫❤️😵‍💫

[@WillowsGarden]

Good job making pickles Bev. You are one hard working woman. Hope y’all have a very blessed day! ❤️🤗

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thanks so much

[@BarbaraKurtz-e4z]

Good morning

[@user-xb7sj2uk4u]

Why is it called bread and butter pickles when there's no bread or butter in the ingredients? Sorry, just being a dim European. But I got some pickling gherkins I got to do something with soon.

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

Gerkins are the best! The same brine as Bev used here for the bread and butter pickles should work well.

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

PS please pardon my spelling 😏
