From the garden to the table




The process of making dill pickles can be fun and exciting. Baby cucumbers, garlic, and dill weed are essential ingredients in making a great dill pickle. When our girls were little, we filled our bathtub with ice and let the cucumbers soak before making the dill pickles. It was a cool experience for a 6 year old to watch as we filled the bathtub with floating cucumbers instead of floating ducks. It was a labour of love because it took most of the weekend to complete the process. A jar of homemade garlic dill pickles made cherished gifts for friends and family.

Dill pickles are a key ingredient to the recipe this week - Rouladen. This recipe is how Kern prepares and serves this delicious and nutritious meal to family and friends.
