Fruits Plus Package
Please note, there is no fruits plus this week as we are waiting on the fall raspberries to come in full swing.
Farming is very unpredictable so it's difficult for us to guarantee you a fruits plus every week but we can guarantee that you will receive more than the full value of your fruits plus package as before the end of the season.
Aunt Georgia's Bread and Butter Pickles
My aunt Georgia makes the tastiest bread and butter pickles. They're a big hit at all the family gatherings, especially Christmas when they've have a few months to pickle and are at their most flavorful.
Wash and cut cucumbers into medium sized pieces to measure 16 cups, about 1 (6-quart) basket.
Place the cucumbers in a large pot, sprinkling 1/3 cup coarse salt between layers.
Mix a tray of ice cubes through the cucumbers and cover with another tray of cubes. Let stand for 3 hours.
Drain vegetables well.
Combine
3 cups white vinegar
5 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
Pour over drained cucumbers.
Heat to boiling point only (this is all the cooking that is necessary)
Pack into hot sterilized jars and store in a cool place for one month before using.
Yield: About 8 pints
