You have inspired me to do a "pickle" project with my 6yo because she loves loves them!
ReplyDeleteWe made pickles about 2 months ago when I had cucumbers coming out of my ears. The recipe we used said they had to sit for 2 months so in about 2 days I get to try out my pickles!!! This recipe looks much easier though.... oh well you live you learn.
