It's in the can...er, eh...JAR!

Ok we got this baby wrapped up.  Special thanks this round to my favorite assistant, Mr. Tony Donley!

Isn't he handsome?!

So our experiment went well.  We decided to do three varieties of pickles.  Hot, Garlic and Dill.  Then for each variety we did two catergories

Hot and Super Hot

These guys are gonna be freakin hot!  The Super Hots have chopped dry red chilies with the seeds, whole dry red chilies, halved jalapenos with the seeds, red pepper flakes and black peppercorn.  The Hots have a tamer version of the same ingredients.

Dry Red Chilies 

Dill and Super Dill

Fresh Dill

Now all of the varieties have dill in them, we just made these with dill as the main ingredient.  As part of the experiement the Super Dills have 12 sprigs of dill in them and and the regular Dill have 8 sprigs.  All of the other flavors have 4 sprigs of dill in with all the other ingredients.

Garlic and Super Garlic

The Super Garlics have 8 cloves of fresh garlic, chopped garlic from a jar and garlic salt.  The regular Garlic have 4 cloves and chopped garlic only.  All the other flavors have garlic in them as well, but only 2 cloves per jar.

All in all we ended up filling 9 jars.  We had enough cucumbers to fill two more jars, so I just kind of made something up for them.  We were out of fresh garlic so I used the chopped garlic, some celery seeds, and all the other spices.  We also added green onions and fresh green beans to each jar.

I also had one extra jar and no more pickles left so I decided to pickle an Heirloom Tomato.  I took out the stem and core and chopped it in 1/8.  Who knows how that one is going to turn out.

I'm super excited to taste them in a month!  The official jar opening will be on Friday September 17th!!!  Be there or be square!!!
