Cucumber and Pickle Season

An easy way to make dill pickles: Mrs. Wages: Quick Process Pickle Mix. Follow the directions on the package.

I bought this pack of mix at a Kroger’s grocery store and my Aunt Kathy has become famous in our family with this exact method.

My beat up canning steamer works like a charm – 23 years old. The process time is only 15 minutes for this recipe!

I know I am brave/wreckless to try it with Armenian cucumbers, but I bet they will turn out great like the ones I made out of little garden pickles a couple years ago. These Armenian cucumbers are young and fresh and are easier to grow in our area. One pack of mix makes 7 quarts.
