Hello everyone,

Can you believe it’s August? I can. Because every  time I go check on my garden it looks like a jungle! My cucumbers and squash are going for gold this year, while my tomatoes seem to be slow starters. I’ve harvested so many cucumbers lately that I decided to make *drum roll please* … Homemade Dill Pickles!

I really should have been making dill pickles all along. Making the brine fills the house with an amazing dill-vinegar aroma. It’s also really simple. I thought there was way more to it, but all you need to do is bring a few ingredients to a simmer, chop your veggies for pickling, and put them in Ball jars. Once canned, you simply gently flip the Ball jar upside down a few times each morning to ensure it’s all mixing properly. These quick pickles keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks and are perfect for snacking, sandwiches, and so much more!

I went traditional, but what other veggies would you like to pickle? Let me know in the comments!

Happy snacking!
