Mustard Pickles

Yes Mustard pickles took up my whole day today! This is Hubby chopping the onions in the food processor he insisted I needed for Christmas last year.(I have never used it>
And here is everything soaking in the salt water before we cook and add sauce! Its been a longggg day.
And in the pot with the sauce....dont they look good? And my house smells wonderful!
Its an old recipe of my grandmothers and everyone loves them but as usual no one but me ever makes them. So we did a double batch and most of the family will get a jar at Christmas.

I have also been working on a crow this weekend. He is all cut out and ready to sew(hopefully this evening) and soon he will have a name! Go on over to prim pals forum and vote in Name that crow post!

Tomorrow I work...hope you all are having an awesome weekend.

Hugs,

Holli

    Can't wait to see the crow..Are the pickles called "Ice Box Pickles"? and made with mustard seeds. I made some when the neighbor gave us a ton of cucumbers..Billy didn't care for them so of course I am forced to eat them all :)
    Can you share the recipe or was your GM name "Bushes" :)
