omgosh, my house smells like a pickle factory.

I will pm it to you.

I would never eat that many pickles in a year. I will share them that's what i always do w/the things i can. I LOVE HOMEMADE KETCHUP, my grandmother always made it. yum!!!I'd be glad to give u the recipes.

I would be very happy to receive the recipe as the cucumber crop is coming in about now. Many thanks. It is so good of you to share them with everyone.

I thought about u when i was making them. i thought if jen was here i could teach her how to can. kerosene huh, that's not good. Wonder what kind she was making. That's alot of work for that, poor thing. got your bags packed??

Would love to buzz over! Maybe before summer ends I'll get a chance. Get your camera ready!

Would love it, jen.

Thanks for your response. Hope u have a happy weekend.

We sure did, still trying to recupe, lol. I will share them, sure can't eat that many pickles. It is nice when people share & i like to do that myself. Have a good weekend, Chevee.

U sure can but u have to come get them. Thanks for your response & i hope u have a great weekend.

Thanks for your response. I'm not fond of bad smells either. have a happy day.

I bet your relish was real good. When i do something like making those pickles all day tues. i pay for it the next few days but i love doing things like that. wish it didn't wear me out like it does.

AREN'T u smart, good for you. I to love pickled beets. I mix yellow squash & zucchini together because it makes them very pretty. U don't have to have but 8 cups of squash to make one batch of pickles & u can use bigger zuchini or yellow if they get too big to cook. I just chunk them up so it doesn't take too long to get 8 cups. I have always canned things & put things in the freezer. It's really silly of me i guess since i live alone but i enjoy doing it. IT does make nice gifts. tHANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE .

Yeah, put a cute square of colorful cloth on the lid, tie with ribbon, and whaaalaaa ! you have a nice gift,either for Christmas or a shower :)

HI QUITA, Good idea. THANKLS FOR YOUR RESPONSE, good idea. Have a great weekend.

OMGOSH, U would have keeled over if u had walked in here tues, lol. Glad u didn't.Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response Shelly. I hope u get crispier pickles. some times it has alot to do w/the cucumber. U can overcook them to. Have a great weekend.

I have done things much more exciting, ronny b. It's really a whle lot of work.I made 2 different kinds. one is a bread & butter pickle made w/cucmbers, onions, green pepper & a little hot pepper, vinrgar, sugar & SPICES. T he other one i MADE FROM ZUCHINNI & YELLOW SQUASH. it has basically the same thing in it. I would share if u were close by.

I would be glad to send u the recipe for your mom. Does she can things? One recipe will make about 6 fruit jars full of pickles. let me know if you want the recipe. I ALSO HAVE A RECIPE FOR PICKLES TO GO IN THE FREEZER SO WHICH EVER ONE U THINK YOUR MOM HAD RATHER DO, LET ME KNOW. I will have to pm u with the recipe, u can't put recipes on here.

U can't do just one, dear. u have to start out w/4 quarts of sliced cucumbers plus other things & they have to be canned in hot sterlized fruit jars. SORRY.

no she does not can things she use jars either one would do thanks n advance Jo and yes I want the recipe...again ty

IT wasn't all that bad. Will be worth it when i want a good pickle which i like very much. THANKS for your response.

Thanks for your response. Have a good day.

lol. U couldn't handle the pickle & vinegar smell then. I got bust w/sprays & i have a burner that heats good smelling oil so that helped. IT'S all gone now, back to my sweet smelling self, lol. Thanks for your response.

U could do it, steph. it's not all that hard but takes a long time. I love cucumbers especially when they are in season here. Thanks for responding.

U are so cute, i love your beginning. I about did & my dog was so funny snezzing over the vinegar smell. I have a very good recipe for frozen pickles if u would like it. I had already made a batch of them before my friend brought the sack full so needless to say i'm over-pickled. GUESS i'll have to have a pickle party, lol. i did make bread & butter & i will share if u can get to tennessee. the other kind i made are squash pickles made from zuchinni & yellow squash. Have u eaten them? good!I have paid all week for working that hard tues. I love to do things like that & makes me mad as hell that i can't do like i use to. If u want that recipe , let me know.Have a restful weekend, that's an order.

COME ON up & i'll give u a pickle sandwich, lol. Thanks for your response. My dog has about recuperated but don't think i have,

HI ANNIEFANNIE, I have never made pickled okra because i don't really care for it. U gotta' spoil that sweet nephews of yours.

i was pretty sure you had, marg. U like to fool around in that kitchen as good as i do. Your chutney sounds interesting. I will give most of them away like i usually do i'm sure. I PROBABLY DON'T EAT A JAR OF PICKLES A YEAR. LOL.
