So two weeks ago, I made my first ever batch of homemade dill pickles. They were easier than jams and chutneys which I have canned before but was a little unsure if they would have a strong flavour and was worried they might not be crisp. Yesterday, Neil and I opened a jar (they had to "pickle" for at least two weeks after canning) and gave them a try. The garlic, hot pepper and fresh dill definitely gave them a punch of flavour and we got big crunches as we bit into them.
Pickle success...made me smile yesterday!
This is this week's The Simple Things photo.

Oh, my husband would dearly love to have a bite of your pickles. Really like the perspective of your shot.

My mom made pickles a few times when I was young. I remember searching around the jar for the garlic. It was my favorite. :)
