sweet ginger pickles


11 lbs, 6 oz cucumbers


Quartered, some were cut into 6ths. 

The cucumbers soaked in lime solution overnight. One cup lime to 2 gallons water. They were more crisp when removed than they were when they went in. The plate holding them down froze with cucumbers sticking to it like a porcupine, except on the bottom. I think the lime actually raises the freezing point of water, but I don't know for sure.


2 gigantic hands of ginger



As I finished up, the sky turned to gold.


I am now the proud owner of 6 quarts of extremely delicious sweet ginger pickles. 

Extreme.

That should last at least 2 weeks.
