Week of August 8th
My cucumbers are growing like crazy. I’ve already canned 14 quarts of Garlic Dill Pickles. I’m going to start on making relish. I love it; and the homemade stuff is so much better. I found this recipe a long time ago online and it is great. Garlic Dill Relish Recipe: (Makes 7 pints or 14 half pints) Ingredients: 8 pounds of cucumbers, ½ cup of pickling/canning salt, 2 tsp turmeric, 4 cups water, 2 1/2 cups finely chopped onion, 1/3 cup sugar, I head of garlic, 2 Tbsp dill seeds, 4 cups white vinegar. Instructions: Cut the cucumbers into very small pieces (you can use your processor), add the garlic cloves. Put into a non-reactive bowl with turmeric. Add 4 cups of water. Let sit in a cool place for 2 hours while you get the jars and canner ready and prepare the onions. Drain the mixture in a colander. Squeeze the remainder with your hands to get out as much of the moisture out as you can. Place the squeezed mixture into a non-reactive stock pot with the onions, sugar, dill seeds and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat and boil gently for about 10 minutes. It is now ready to can. Ladle the hot relish into hot jars. Use a plastic knife or spatula to remove any air pockets and readjust the amount in the jar if necessary. Leave 1/2″ of headspace. Twist the bands finger tight. This will make 7 pints or 14 half pints. Process Pints in hot water bath for 15 minutes or half pints for 10 minutes. After processing remove from heat and let jars sit in the canner with the lid on for 5 minutes and then remove.
Katy (Prachar) Kruse sent me some information about the Ragnar Run. I heard the name “Ragnar”, but didn’t know what it was. She is fundraising for “WR4W” which is backed by Northland Family Programs in order to raise awareness of women’s fertility and the importance of fertility education for all women and to raise money to continue their work of serving women and couples. Katy and twenty-three other lovely women will be forming two teams called Women Run for Women(WR4W) to run a 200 mile Ragnar relay race from St. Paul, MN to Duluth, MN August 12 & 13. Their mission is to support an exceptional non-profit called Northland Family Programs. If anyone is interested in learn more about Northland Family Programs visit https://www.womenrunforwomen.com. Prayers go out for their success and safety. God Bless.
