Our farmers graciously forewarned us that we had a ton of cucumbers and sent out a few recipes for pickles. I decided, why not? And then...I got 15 cucumbers. That finalized the decision, pickles it is. And even after making the pickles, I had 8 or 9 leftover. I gave away 2 jars and brought 2 to a picnic, and still have 3/4 of each left. What can we eat with pickles? Looks like some veggie burgers this week!
