I took a couple of pictures, but we left the camera at Grandma's house so I will try to post them when I get them. A couple of weeks ago, Justin, Paige & I headed to his Grandma's house to learn how to make her famous pickles, pickled (Spicy) green beans and pickled eggs. We bought 3 bags of small cucumbers from Costco and 2 large bags of green beans.
I have to admit, it was a lot simpler than we thought. And we didn't have to wait 6 weeks to eat them. Justin opened our first jar a few days later. We will probably be making them once every month or so because we just love pickled things in this household. Plus, they make great gifts.
We gave two jars to our friend Mike for his birthday. We should have given his wife some for her birthday too. She admitted that when he was away on a business trip she almost ate an entire jar. She said that she didn't even put them on a plate. She just opened the jar in the sink and shoveled them down. She couldn't stop. Funny thing is that they are pretty spicy and she doesn't eat spicy things. She said it was painful but so good.
We plan on just spoiling our friends and family for a while, but who knows? If we need some extra income maybe we will start selling "Ranch Grandma's Pickles". We are just grateful that she was able to pass on a great tradition to us! We did tell her that we still want pickles and green beans for Christmas. Just because we can make them, doesn't mean we don't still want her to spoil us too!
