The 17 Day is like eating candy. They are CRISP, Sweet, You cut the cucumbers in 1/4's Long Ways, then you cut out the HEART like where the seeds would be. Then start the Process. You only use the select 3-4" cucumbers, small diamature of 2" a lot of work. Women now days just buy DILL in a jar off the shelf.
The art of Canning is gone. Green Beans, Peaches, Apples, Apple Butter, Home made butter, Cakes from scrach, Ho made bread, Ho made Jelly, Strawberry patch, Fruit Trees, Gardens, Lettuce with Bacon Grease, Vingar, and Sugar on the top, Ho made Mashed Patotes, Corn on the cob, Biscuts and Gravey. I long for the real women of the world.
