Pickles and Preserves

The madness has begun. The kitchen bench is filling up with produce from the garden (and friends' gardens).

What do you do with a glut? Preserve and pickle!

Here are 5 jars of bottled tomatoes and 12 jars of Zucchini Pickles.I hope there will be lots more tomatoes in jars. They are absolutely fantastic to have in the pantry.

Just to the left you can see a corner of a tea towel. This is covering a bowl of cucumbers for Cosmic's Sweet and Sour Pickled Cucumbers. The recipe can be found here.
