Homemade Pickles and a Memorial Day Menu

Most of us will fire up the grill this weekend as we celebrate Memorial Day with friends and family, so I’ve provided a fabulous, organic menu with some of my recipes from the last few months, including my homemade pickles. I enjoyedย preparing these pickles with my daughter the other day and when I bit into the first crunchy-saltyย bite, Iย decided they’re the perfect addition to any barbeque (they also make a great hostess gift). The recipe is so simple, I don’t know why I haven’tย made themย before!

 

Memorial Day Menu
Grilled Hamburgers with Sour Cream and Herbs
Homemade Pickles
Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole
Mixed Greens Salad
Raspberry Strawberry Coolers
Oatmeal Cream Pies

 


So give some friends a call, fire-up the grill, and enjoy a great meal as we all remember those who fought and perishedย for our freedom.

  1. Put cucumbers and dill in the mason jar. Pour enough water into jar to just cover the cucumbers. Add salt. Screw lid on tightly and gently shake the jar until the salt has dissolved. Place in a dark, cool spot for 3 days until "pickled". After 3 days, store in the refrigerator and serve cold.

    I have never made pickles. I am adding it to my "to do" summer list.

    Those sound great! My dad makes homemade pickles from his own homegrown cucumbers, and they are fantastic! There is nothing like homemade pickles - none of the grocery ones compare in the slightest!

    Just made the pickles a few minutes ago. Can't wait to find out in a few days how yummy they are! I made 2 jars and am giving 1 to a friend as a house warming present, I figure a creative gift as opposed to wine. BTW, I'm friends with your cousin Allison who lives in Virginia...she suggested your blog to me. ;-)

    Thanks for the inspiration and the recipe! I bought pickling cukes at the farmer's market this morning...and I bought a dill plant, but unfortunately laid it down and left it there! Can't wait to get more dill and try these!

    I started these today; whole ones in a big jar and sliced ones in a little jar. I found little Persian pickles at Trader Joe's. I hope they are yummy :)
