Pickling...

     Hello!  My son and I have ventured into the intriguing world of pickling vegetables.  Here, we have cucumbers, carrots, onions, and jalapenos peppers.  We have to wait for them to cool and then they should be good in the fridge for a few weeks...if they last that long!  I learned to can from my mother, and in the past, the bulk of my canning was tomatoes.  It was so gratifying to go down to the basement and get tomatoes for whatever I was cooking.  I used them predominately in pasta sauces and as a base for beef stew. 
     I have some tomato plants in the garden that are beginning to produce, and I have plans to enjoy them when winter comes!
