the cookbook we use (from a long time ago)
mentions cloudy brine and the pickles may get
darker in color. it says nothing about the
taste being affected, but perhaps the super-
tasters may be able to notice the difference.

we've made two batches of bread and butter
pickles so far this year and we've already
opened and finished a jar from the first batch.
yum!

looks like the cucumbers are not flowering
much at the moment in this heat, but they may
have a chance to continue as there are still
green leaves on them and they are still growing.
