Pickles, Pickles, Pickles!

 
This week we did over 40 quarts of freezer pickles.

 
 One of our neighbors told us about this really easy FREEZER pickle recipe.  At first we were skeptical but now we're hooked!  We use our food processer to slice the cucumbers and onions.  We packed our half gallon containers to the brim with sliced cucumbers and a few onions thrown in for flavor.  Once the containers are full, sprinkle a tablespoon of mustard seed on top. The brine you pour into your containers is really simple.  Just four cups of apple cider vinegar, one cup water, one tablespoon salt, and two cups of honey.  Boil your brine in a pot on the stove, then pour it over the pickles in your containers.  Let your pickles cool and then put them into your freezer.  When you're ready for some yummy pickles just take a container out and stick it in your fridge.  Leave a comment and let us know if you try this recipe!

Food, Fun, and Fellowship at the Fogelsanger's

The Saturday after Josh and Danielle's wedding the Fogelsanger's opened their home for their annual church picnic.  This year there were more people because of the out of town guests who came in for the wedding, so there was lots of fun and fellowship!
 
 We all enjoyed the yummy food...
