Tickeled to PICKLE!!

Our cucumbers are ready to be harvested and we have A LOT of them! Damian came back from the farm with over thirty cucumbers and was pumped with pickling possibilities! I have never seen a man to excited to pickle.

He did his research and watched approximately one million YouTube videos about the best pickling practices, got a recipe, and went to the store to gather all the materials. Since we have never pickled before, we needed to get all the basic equipment which included:

• 1 large pot
• 1 Canner - which is a huge pot
• Pint canning jars
• Jar grabber
• Lids
• Rings
• Lid lifter
• Jar funnel

In addition to all the basic equipment, he came home with massive quanitities of vinegar and the biggest box of kosher salt I have ever. Then, he got to work.
