Happy Mother’s Day!
My Mom loves pickles! She has her favorite Annie’s pickles from Maine. She gets a big jar every summer when we go to Kennebunkport and nurses it all year. So what better gift for Mother’s Day than a jar of Alexander’s pickles.
Alexander and I just went to the Queens Botanical Garden’s Arbor Festival where they had a fun demonstration for the kids on how to make quick cucumber pickles. Alexander got to cut up the cucumbers.
We decided to make our own recipe for Grandma. These are stored in the refrigerator and good for up to two weeks. We recycled a salsa jar to store ours in. Plastic containers are fine too.
Enjoy!
Avec Amour, Victoria & Alexander
