Very little canning. We freeze and dehydrate.  ;D
     One more with the one we're after and we'll have two.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Love the zuke relish. Ours are just getting going.

One of the zuke things we do... We julienne and blanch some, then layer a "recipe's" worth on a tray  in the dehydrator. During the cooler months, when my wife wants to make zucchini bread, she re-hydrates a chip and bakes away. Yum!    ;D

I have never had zuke relish.

The boss makes some out standing pickle relish. My son says that when he finally gets a restaurant of his own she is going to have to supply him with pickle relish. The problem is finding any one growing pickles in west Michigan any more. I do not know if Heinz is even doing pickles in Holland any more. When I was a kid there were pickle vats in almost every town in Oceana county. Never knew what would be found in them from rats to dead Mexicans.

When I lived in Holland if the wind was blowing one way it smelled like pickles and blowing the other way I could smell what flavor life savers Beechnut was making that day..... ;D
 And yes the pickle vats at Heinz were really bad.  Worked there for a week and that was all I could take...   Make my own pickles now..... ;D

I do not eat pickles as I am already sour enough. Take that back as I might eat a few sweet gherkins.

Now the bosses sweet relish that is another thing. A burger or hot dog is not worth eating with out it.

I never worked around any of our local vats. I spent the summer after I graduated high school sorting pickles.  Worked a lot of all nighters as the biggest grower would not let the migrants load any pickles until it was too dark for them to pick. The pickles we packed were all sent to fresh market.

Back then the migrants coming out of Mexico came and worked till the end of the season. No welfare hand outs. When work was over they gladly went home with the pockets full of the money they made. No reason the same system could not be used now but most of them would go in hiding and not go back.

Dom, do you make pepper relish too? I have a couple recipes for pepper relish and jam that are off the charts.

Tried making pickles a few times. I'm not really good at it. My Grandma used to keep a pickle crock in the fruit cellar. We were always raiding that ;D

Those do not look like cukes to me. They look like pickles. There is a difference. Note the bumps and bristles on them in the opening of the video. (that is all of the video I watched) I have never seen cukes with them. Taste a lot different if eaten fresh.

 And me and my bride turned it in to relish.. Our first try at pepper relish so I'm excited to try it... It looks like I used to many red peppers for color..  So we will see...
