Bread & Butter Pickles with HONEY!

 

 The garden exploded with glorious cucumbers!

Mostly marketmore, but a few little heirloom miniature whites.

...Calendula buds too.

So that means pickle time

Around here, we really like the sweet bread and butter pickles. 

The usual pickle recipe I go by is my auntie Bernie's Refrigerator pickles

 

I have little space in my fridge tho, so we go for canning this time!

Found a really great recipe that uses HONEY instead of sugar!!

So good,

as there is a lot of sweet in these babies.

Taken from this lovely old wonder found at a garage sale. 

not sure when it was published but my guess would be 1973!

Its a great local foods cookbook with all kinds of DIY food type information,

like make your own cheese, yogurt, saskatoon wine,...  

 Here's one of the best pages in the book:

Are you putting any garden foods by right now??
