How do I can pickles with that recipe?

I just planted about 10 cucumbers....I will be overrun with cucumbers in a couple months! do I need a special breed (I know that’s the wrong word...) of cucumber or will any young cucumber work?

Not sure -—— but I think there’s a special pickling cucumber.

You heat the ing and pour over pickle spears in canning jars.

Any cucumber will work, and so will zucchini and other summer squash, or even green tomatoes.

I make bread-and-butter pickle relish every year, using whatever we have the most of. The recipe I use is out of a Jackie Clay book. I’ll type it up for you later tonight.
