Do you have produce coming out your ears? Making and canning your own pickles, gherkins, kosher dills, bread and butter, sweet pickles, etc. is one of the easiest things you can do with produce! 

Cool and crunchy, delightfully sour and capable of going from snack to sandwich without a hitch — that’s what I call a good pickle. Did you know they’re a cinch to make at home?

Want to learn how to make pickles? The Polk County Cooperative Extension Service is offering a Pickling Made Easy Class on August 1. Two fun sessions will be offered, one at 2 p.m. and one at 6 p.m. A minimal cost is involved. Call the Extension Office at 894-8218 to sign up for a class.
