My Dark Cove Pantry

I am from Gambo, NL, located on the east coast of Canada, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. My hometown of Gambo was once divided into three smaller communities, known as Middle Brook, Dark Cove & Gambo. I grew up in Dark Cove, and absolutely love to cook and bake, so I thought what better name could there be for my first blog than 'My Dark Cove Pantry'. Even though I now live in Flatrock, and now have a new pantry, it will always be 'My Dark Cove Pantry'.

Homemade Dill Pickles

We get our fresh cucumbers every year from good friends, Dennis & Janice. This year, they had a bumper crop, and those cucumbers are so sweet and crunchy----Yummy!!!

I made a batch of dill pickles this past week and I was really pleased with the result. Click here for the link with the recipe I used. I trimmed the seed section out before placing cucunbers in the jars. I did that because that section tends to become really soft, and we like a really crunchy dill pickle. You can certainly alter this recipe to your own taste, depending on how many cucumber you have. I also eliminated the garlic completely. Have a look at how mine turned out........

If you like dill pickles, I highly recommend this recipe----

Cheers
