We've kept them in a tall jar in the fridge for up to a month.<BR/><BR/>2 cups thinly sliced cucumbers<BR/>1 1/2 cup sugar (I have cut this back to 1 cup)<BR/>1 cup vinegar<BR/>1 cup thinly sliced red onion<BR/>1 cup thinly sliced red pepper<BR/>1 t celery salt<BR/>1 t salt<BR/>mix all together in a bowl<BR/>let stand on counter for a couple of hours,stirring every now and then until juices have released and all the cukes are covered with liquid.<BR/>At this point I put them in a jar in the fridge. We enjoy them on the side with most meals.<BR/>ENJOY!!annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924450203111629128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991291473593760056.post-40613110779961392242007-07-11T09:42:00.000-07:002007-07-11T09:42:00.000-07:00Danielle,That is so tough about the lack of rain. ...Danielle,<BR/><BR/>That is so tough about the lack of rain. I've been lucky that all my plants are in containers and are on the deck right next to my rain barrels. I've had to water some of the plants twice a day for weeks now and a few times my rain barrels have been almost empty. Luckily, we've gotten short storms that fill them back off each time, so I haven't gotten totally empty. Catching most of the run off from the roof helps with that. This summer has been brutal so far though!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920326845870515381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991291473593760056.post-66544599830607414342007-07-11T09:07:00.000-07:002007-07-11T09:07:00.000-07:00Everything looks great!

Our potato harvest is about a quarter of what it was last year. Our pastures are dry and crunchy—it's just heartbreaking. I get depressed every time I go out. We're now irrigating in earnest—hopefully it won't be too little, too late.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing you guys next week!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991291473593760056.post-16327026426885603362007-07-11T08:35:00.000-07:002007-07-11T08:35:00.000-07:00Ann, I'd love your pickle recipe, you can send it ...Ann, I'd love your pickle recipe, you can send it to me or post it here, whatever is easier. I guess I should probably make the pickles before too long, I'm not sure how long the cukes will be good.
