Sharolyn's Spicy Dills

I whipped out my Mormon canning genes this past weekend, and decided that I wanted to make a batch of organic spicy dill pickles. After our day trip to see the lavender fields in Sequin, I made pickles. This is one of my Mom's recipes I've learned over the years.


Soaking and scrubbing the pickling cucumbers, and getting the jars ready.


Getting the organic kirby pickling cucumbers, sweet onions, garlic, fresh dill and other spices.


Fresh organic produce.





Packing the jars, prepping for the brine.


After water bath processing, and waiting for the seals to "pop," to ensure shelf stability.


Food styling & photo shoot! :)





Another angle with the camera.


In about six months I'll have wonderfully spicy dill pickles to enjoy in the Fall and Winter. I enjoy canning, more and more as the years go buy. I plan to do BBQ sauce and spaghetti sauce this next weekend, and some organic yellow heirloom tomatoes as well.
