Food preservation

"Pickling" tomatoes, zuchinni pickles and cucumbers
Tomatoes and cukes … oh my!

Now that we have all these beautiful tomatoes and nearly perfect cucumbers, what are we supposed to do with them? Have you already given your neighbors as many as they will take? Do you make your weekly contributions to the Food Pantries?
