Pickles o' Plenty

We're off to dinner with SB's folks, but here are a few photos of our pickle extravaganza! We ended up making three variations of bread & butter pickles (five pints of each):

"UK" - brown sugar and cider vinegar substituted for granulated sugar and white vinegar + ground ginger

"Irish Zest" -  horseradish and fresh ginger

"Garlic" - one clove added to each pint

We also made what was supposed to be two pints of refrigerated zesty pickles to hold us over until the rest are ready to eat, but we were just shy of two pints and had to go with one. In two weeks, it will be a nice little preview of what will follow a month or so later.
