Cold Pack Pickles *Can be stored up to 2 yrs.
I have been using this Recipe since 1988 exclusively.

Excellent recipe for same day harvest/preserving

Recipe is for 1 wide mouth Quart Jar

Ingredients:
1.5 TBLS Canning Pickling Salt
1/2 Cup Cider Vinegar
1 TBLS Pickling Spice
2-4 Whole Garlic cloves - peeled
4-5 Whole Dried Hot Peppers (Thai or similar) OR REAPERS
1/4 tsp pickle crisp (easily found in canning section)
Fresh dill fronds (optional) I no longer use the dill.
COLD Filtered water to top off before sealing.

Fresh picked Pickling Cucumbers, washed, rinsed and bottom flower tip trimmed off.

Directions:

1.Gently wash fresh picked pickling cucumbers, set aside.

2.Wash & Sterilize Wide mouth quart Mason/Canning jar.

3. Combine, Salt, Garlic, Pickling spice, dried peppers, pickle crisp into bottom of jar.

4.Pack jars firmly with washed cukes...do not smash cukes, vary sizes as needed to fill jar. DO NOT USE SOFT CUKES.

5. Add sprig of dill, and vinegar.

6. Fill remaining space in jar to within 1/8" of top with filtered water.

Seal with heated lid and place tightening band on hand tight and snug. do not over tighten.

Shake jar vigorously and store upside down for 24hrs.
Check jars daily and invert daily for 10 days. Bottom one day, top the next.

After 10 days store in cool dark place...pickles will be ready in 6-8 weeks.

These make a very crisp, slightly spicy pickle.

The Thunder mountain Longhorn.

What are its uses or what do you do with them?

Are they crunchy eating pepper? Ever tried pickling?

Yes you can ferment, thawed out , fresh frozen pods. You will need to use a starter though.

No starter needed just salt will ferment just fine with frozen pods.

I prefer to chop frozen and not thaw.

Had a big set back with huge high temps causing flower drop 3 weeks ago.

Temps have been in the 90 to 100 past 3 weeks. Another scorcher today.

I put up umbrellas to shade during 11am to 5pm and it has helped on new growth and new flowering.

Couple glory shots.

Pineapple rocoto. This one lost 30 or more blooms.
Only a half dozen peppers currently.

Red rocotos. Already harvested half dozen off this plant.

Equdorian sweet. Slowly pudding up

Labeled Orange rocoto but has white flowers might have mislabeled.

Another Red plant.

Tick tock.... slowly coming back to life.

#1572028 Make your best taco.

Posted by Masher on 30 July 2018 - 07:45 AM

i think you meant Dru's taco seasoning
D3 may make a taco seasoning as well, but i recognize that DeeRoo label

that Taco Tuesday is the bomb I used up the last of mine on some chicken which became a chicken taco-salad

Thanks for clearing that up. I bought so many sauces at that time I forgot some of the makers.

The taco seasoning is the bomb. We had company and it was all devoured over beers and laughs and didnt get played pics.

I recommend the seasoning as top shelf for sure!!!
