Got distracted trying to figure out an earworm. Here's the pickle results!

7 quarts of sweet pickles from 13 lbs sliced.

These are spicy spicy, not really hot spicy, like a what a real sweet pickle should be, not the ones that have the name but are just soaked in corn syrup.

Song is Turn the Page by Bob Segar btw. 😜

More cucumber preservation underway. It will be 7+ quarts of spicy sweet pickles unless the pickling spice I didn't measure out isn't enough.

13 lbs / 5.8 kg sliced cucumbers with 4 oz / 120 g of salt, and enough ice to keep them cook for a few hours (they were already cold). Tubs stacked and the power of coffee and excessive cocoa does the rest.

Sweet pickles! Vinegar, sugar, and spicy pickling spices are used and I had 15 lbs of sliced cucumbers. 1 heaping tablespoon of evenly mixed spices plus a piece of pepper per jar is prepared. The vinegar and sugar is heated up, the drained salted cucumbers are added, it's brought to a boil and hot jars have spices added and are hot packed then processed for 10 minutes in boiling water.

It was 7 hours of jam and pickles.
