Pickled Perfection!

It was a fun canning day with my Daughter Darcey and my Son's girlfriend Jesse. I decided to try doing pickled veggies. After having them at a few restaurants I thought...We can do these!!

We did mushrooms cut in half.

Sliced red, green and yellow bell peppers. And cut carrots.

Green beans...

Cauliflower and not pictured red and yellow onions, zucchini,

yellow crocked squash and pickled cucumbers.

Sounds yummy so far...

This is our herb mix for each jar. So we are almost ready to start.

We washes the jars and boiled the lids

Here's the recipe we used;

Pickled Veggie Perfection

9 lbs. veggies

green or red pepper pod, seeds removed

1 cup Mrs. Wages pickling & canning salt

2 quarts water

1 quart white vinegar

splash apple cider vinegar

2 heads fresh dill

1 tea. Mrs/ Wages pickling spice

3 cloves of garlic

1 tea. red pepper flakes

 pepper

Follow the directions for the brine on the Mrs Wages. We mixed the dill, garlic, pepper flakes, pepper and pickling spice together in a separate bowl. In the bottom of each jar add 1  1/2 teaspoon of dill mixture in the bottom of each jar. Layer the veggies and on top sprinkle a little more pickling spice and fill with brine. Leaving 1/2 inch from the top of the jar. Process according to directions on Mrs Wages.

After processing wait for them to cool to make sure they pop then add cute labels.

  my husband thinks I can just so I can make cute labels.

These are the pints ...label is a cute rolling pin.

These are the quarts.

It is delicious and you can color it the color of your favorite team. If we are playing at "home" we call it WildCat Winner Juice, or when we play other teams we call it their mascot's name plus blood. Example: "Hawks Blood". It is a fun motivator and you can change the recipe to suit your athletes taste! Go Juice!

Apple Spice Dump Cake

This is the easiest cake ever! My grandkids can't get enough of this cake. This is a great one for the kids to help with because you can't mees it up at all. And since its easy and the kids love it I thought would share....

Apple Spice Dump Cake

1 box (14.5 oz about) Spice Cake Mix

1 can ( 21 oz about) Pie Filling

3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix all 3 ingredients together just until moist. Pour into a 13 X 9 baking dish or a bundt or tube cake pan that has been greased and floured. I like to use sugar instead of flour on all cakes its just makes the cake that much sweeter! Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

When cool sprinkle with powder sugar. I like to do it again on each piece as I serve it too! If you sprinkle with powder when warm it just melts into and you can't see it.

Now enjoy!!
