Pickles and Peaches

Cathy's dining room table loaded with our goods!
Jars of pickles, sliced peaches, peach salsa and peach jam

This past weekend, Cathy and I canned pickles and peaches. We have become more ambitious this year and tried several different recipes. It was fun researching recipes and we discovered that you can pickle just about anything. We put in some long hours but everything turned out fantastic. And in case you were wondering how many jars you can get from a bushel of cucumbers and a peck of peaches, the list follows.

1 Bushel Pickling Cucumbers...
Polish Dills
6 Quarts
11 Pints
9 Quarts (Fridge Recipe/Canned)

Dill Pickles
6 Quarts
10 Pints

Kosher Dill
3 Quarts
11 Pints

Sweet - Bread & Butter -- (Fridge Recipe)

1 Peck Peaches...

Peaches -- Sliced
22 Pints

Peach Salsa
18 - 1/2 Pints

Peach Jam

Needless to say, we will have enough pickles for years to come!
