PARTY-MIX PICKLES made by Aline


July 3, 2012:  Aline emailed me:

Today we have a heat wave. George has gone fishing in this heat.  Yesterday I picked fresh dill and froze it.  Looks like there is going to be lots.  The lettuce and spinach should be ready to use next week.

ALINE'S PARTY-MIX PICKLES

10 medium cucumbers
8 medium carrots, sliced and boiled 5 min.
1 cauliflower, cut into pieces
3 medium onions
1 green pepper, cut fine

4 cups vinegar
2 tbsp. celery seeds
2 tbsp. mustard seeds
