Does anyone have a recipe for canning a small batch of pickles? I don't think the cucumber plant is going to give me 50 cucumbers at once for the recipe I found.

I'd also love a spaghetti sauce recipe if anyone is willing to share their favorite. I've canned tomatoes before but never made spaghetti sauce.

Heather, I found a recipe that makes 4 pints of kosher dills & one for bread & butter pickles that makes 8 pints and takes about 14 small to medium cucumbers.

Recipes are more than I want to post so if you are interested in one or both PM me and I will copy & mail to you.

I would ferment them. Stay crunchy, plus the added probiotics. You can do a quart or a half gallon, whatever you have on hand. Works best with smaller cukes, at least in my experience. Just stuck a half gallon in the fridge, after a week or so on the counter. That is the only problem with ferments, fridge space!

I agree, ferment them, so easy and like them better than the vinegar method. Lots of great youtube videos!

Heather, I ferment, do refrigerator and freezer pickles. If you want them email me. Much easier than canning.

Heather, I have one that does a jar at a time. I will email it to you after morning chores.

Sara and Darlene - I sent you e-mails

Diana - how long to the pickles keep in the fridge?

Julie - got your e-mail. Thanks so much!

Lisa and Gail - I'll look into fermenting them. My biggest concern is the temp. I don't have AC and it's in the 90's. Not sure if fermenting on the counter would work or not.

tomatoe sauce, i use it for pizza and spaghetti. I don't really use a recipe, but I did kind of follow one in the beginning. I start with how ever many tomatoes i have, putting them raw through a squeezo. It kicks seeds and skins off to the side and pulp and juice goes in another pan. Start heating your tomatoes up till good and hot, and then strain juice through a cheesecloth, and let it sit for a bit depending on how thick you want your sauce. I have made tomato paste this way too. Put it back in and pot and get it cooking. Add maybe a 1/4 cup of brown sugar depending on amount of tomatoes. Garlic salt, onion flakes, pepper, salt, oregano, basil. Anything you want in your sauce. Add a splash of lemon juice also and I add half a stick of butter or you can add vegetable oil. I cook for a little while 20 min to half an hour, then can as you would for your location. I water bath the jars. The straining of the juice is the real time saver for me. If you get alot of red going through then double up your cloth. I use cheese cloth that i have for making cheese. It is not the real holey kind you get in the grocery store. I started out using a jelly bag to strain and that worked great.

Sara - thanks for the recipes!

Diana - the recipes I've seen say to eat them within a couple weeks and I didn't want to eat all my pickles now LOL. Sounds like I can keep them longer. I might have to try some.
