Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[ValerieJ]

It's been a busy morning. I chopped up cucumbers, onions, jalapeno and Hatch peppers for relish, four quarts worth.

With 7 cups cucumber and one cup jalapenos I made dill relish, and have 7 half pint jars processing in boiling water right now. After I take those out I'll start making sweet relish, which will probably be another 7 half pints. That should be plenty for the next year.

Never got around to picking beans.

ETA:

Got 7 loud pops when the lids sealed.

You must have a well stocked pantry and freezer! Lucky you.

I guess you would say it's not luck at all.

The pantry has a way to go. Things will get busier when the tomatoes start producing. I've picked only three so far, and I probably need 100 pounds of tomatoes for my salsa, tomato sauce and canned tomatoes.

Now that I have all the relish I need I guess the rest of the cukes will become dill pickles. Those are basically zero calories so I can eat all I want. LOL

Sweet relish is finished. Got 8 half pints and a taste. And the kitchen is all cleaned up, which doing is the worst part.
