Thank you! So glad you found me through YouTube and glad my content has encouraged you! I completely relate to having to let go to years of conditioning. It was a similar experience for me (and I think for a lot of homeschool moms!) I hope you have a good year with your kids. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You are probably getting so much more done than you think you are.

Yes, actually small cucumbers are the best for this recipe. The smaller the better. I use apple cider vinegar. For other recipes I spend a little extra $$ to buy raw apple cider vinegar, but for this the vinegar gets boiled in the canner so it would kill the live probiotics. Regular apple cider vinegar is fine.

About pickles: does this recipe work for small cucumbers as well? Also, what type of vinegar do you recommend?

Thank you again!
I wish you and your beautiful family a great rest of summer!

All the best,

Lara

I agree! I was turned off to trying green beans for years because I heard you had to use a pressure canner, rather than a regular canner. It just seemed like too much work to me. Freezing them is so fast and we all really like the taste and texture!

Thank you! I’m glad it inspired you. I hope it goes well this summer!

It is fun! It can be a lot of work in the moment, but everyone feels proud seeing the finished product!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s a little more work with kids in the kitchen when they are little, but I think it’s worth it!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Good luck!
