Bread and Butter Zuchinni and Yellow Squash Pickles....Check

We came home from a lovely vacation to bumper crop of zuchinni and yellow squash! That's the only thing that seems to be growing de cent in this rain.
I then proceeded to pick all the ones that were ready thinking that I would have the time to put together veggie boxes for my customers. Well the boxes never happened that week and I stared at a milk crate full of zucchini for a couple days hoping that some magic lady would appear and do something good with it. Alas....no magic lady. They were still in great shape and probably in the condition you would find at the store but I don't like to sell anything that I haven't picked within 2 days.

So....One evening I put the kids to bed early (miracle in itself) and just as I began to start on my pickles I heard the pitter patter of my two year old. "I wanna help you mommy." My immediate reaction at 10 pm was "no you need to go back to bed" His response "See mommy I have a knife. I just want to make you happy" Well as you can see the 2 year old runs the house and learned how to make pickles that night. We did have fun and some good giggles mixed in. :)

If you have yet to make pickles I highly recommend the bread and butter pickle recipe. They are NOT hard to make....I promise.
They are so good but really anything pickled seems to be.
