Pickles


Yesterday was probably the last time this year I will go to the farmers' market.  I hadn't really done any pickling this year yet and it was about too late, so I bought everything they had that would make good pickles.  I ended up with five kinds, shown here.  Left to right we have jalepenos, okra, totmates (from my garden, not the farmers' market), green beens, and brussel sprouts (which I have never pickled  before).  As you can see, I put some carrots in with the jalepenos.  They are great.


These are the tomatoes from the garden.  I had never had pickled tomatoes until about three years ago.  I tried them in a restaurant in Denver and have had to have them ever since.


This is the okra.  I put three thick jalepeno slices in each jar.  I didn't want to overpower them, but they taste good a little spicey.
