Spicy Dill Pickles



 I wanted to make some pickles this year.  I have been looking for pickling cucumbers for a couple of weeks without success.  I even put my name on a waiting list at one of the fruit stands.  Seriously, everyone wants them and there are not enough cucumbers to go around.  A lady who works at the fruit stand told me that there are not that many cucumbers coming in because it is not a good money making crop.  I almost gave up on it but today I decided to check out one more place and behold there they were: pickling cucumbers! I got so excited I bought 20 lb of them.  I think I got a little carried away... I hope my family likes pickles.





 Pickling spice, dill, dried red peppers(not pictured), and garlic.  I am not going to share the recipe to avoid copyright issues and what not, and I'm too lazy to do it.  But I got my recipe from the Ball Canning book. 





Filling the jars, I just need to add the liquid and it will be ready to process.





I hope it tastes as good as it looks.
