Today, i made some more homemade sweet pickles :) i love pickles, and have been enjoying making the pickles :) they're easy, and fun to make :) i used a nice plastic container, to put the canning jars in, to wash the jars, and on the stove, i got a big cooking pot with the vinegar, sugar, and sweet pickles seasoning :) it smells so good :) i washed 4 cucumbers, and sliced them into nice pickles shapes, and i put the cucumbers into the jars :) once the sweet pickles seasoning/vinegar/sugar brought to a boil, i then used a laddle to fill the jars with it, and sealed the jars :) i've got lots of nice jars of pickles now, they're in the fridge :) i love sweet pickles with my salads, and with baked wheat crackers for snack :) It's really good, and one of my favorite snacks :)
