Well....one 1/2 bushel of fresh pickles later we have canned 19 jars of polish dill pickles. I'm excited to break open a jar come fall and winter and enjoy the fresh taste!

Recipe:

2026 Polish Dill Pickles

Ingredients:

Ingredients for Canned Cucumbers:
6 bay leaves, (1 per jar)
1/2 Tbsp peppercorn, (5 per jar)
6 Dill Stems with Flowers, cut into 3" pieces (1 full stem per jar)
12 garlic cloves, halved (2 cloves per jar)
1 inch horseradish root, in each jar split in 2. optional but nice
1/2 tsp. yellow mustard seed.
6 lbs small cucumbers, well rinsed with ends trimmed

Ingredients for Pickling Brine:
1/4 tsp sodium chloride per jar for crispness
8 cups water
1/3 cup granulated sugar
6 Tbsp pickling salt (or 1/3 cup)
6 cups distilled white Vinegar, (5% acidity)

Directions:
Sterilize Canning Jars

Divide bay leaves, peppercorns, mustard seed, sodium chloride,dill stems, garlic and horseradish (optional) into the bottoms of 7 Quart-sized jars. Pack cucumbers tightly into jars.

In a medium pot, combine 8 cups water, 1/3 cup sugar, 6 Tbsp salt and 6 cups vinegar. Bring pickling juice to a boil then pour over cucumbers leaving 1/2” of space at the top.

Screw the lids on enough to keep a tight seal in place but don't over-tighten them since air bubbles need to be able to escape.

Place jars in a canner or large pot lined with a wire rack at the bottom. Once all of the jars are in the pot, ensure hot water covers jars with 1-2 inches of water. Process/boil for 15 minutes.

Carefully remove jars from the water using a jar lifter and leave at room temperature undisturbed for 12-24 hours. You may hear a pop when the jars fully seal. After 24 hours, check that the seal has formed by pushing down on the center of the lid - it should not move at all. If the seal does not form, refrigerate pickles and enjoy within 3 months.

Octoberfest is around the corner and we....well... had to test a dish. Sauerkraut , apple, onion chicken leg quarters, with spatzle and green beans. It turned out so good. Recipe below.

German-Style Chicken, Sauerkraut & apples

Ingredients:
• 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 apple, peeled and sliced
• 24–32 oz sauerkraut, lightly drained
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt, pepper and 1 tbsp oil

Heat oven to 375°F. Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. In an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, brown chicken skin-side down in the oil for about 5 minutes, then remove.

Cook onion for 3–4 minutes. Stir in broth, mustard, brown sugar and caraway. Add potatoes, apple and sauerkraut and mix together. Place chicken on top, skin-side up.

Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and chicken reaches 165°F. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end if you want crispier skin.
