It was late summer and everyone's garden was full of all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Except George's. All he had were cucumbers.
And more cucumbers.
Um, George, next time try to plant different kinds of seeds instead of all the same kind.
Well, good thing I like cucumbers.
Let's find some more containers. We can't leave those on the vine.
It took all the pots, bowls, hats and a few boots too.
But they finally got all the cucumbers out of the garden and into the house.
Good job! Only, what do we do with the rest of them?
Maybe they could build cucumber houses.
Or cucumber boats?
Cucumber action figures?
Hi, George! I got a few of the rabbits and I thought maybe you'd like to...
Wow, that's a lot of cucumbers!
Gee, thanks, George. I do love a fresh cucumber.
I bet the bunnies will like some too.
Whoa, George! Rabbits do eat a lot, but they could never eat all those before they went bad.
The other neighbors might want some though.
Yeah, I'm not a city kid like you, but I have my moments.
George gave cucumbers to every person he saw.
He even gave cucumbers to people who weren't people.
But he still had a lot of cucumbers left.
Oh, no thanks, George. I have plenty of cucumbers already.
See?
Those weren't cucumbers. They were pickles.
No, really. Pickles come from cucumbers.
They sure do. There's no such thing as a pickle tree, George.
You ought to pickle those too.
It's easy. I'll show you.
First, I boiled these cucumbers for a few minutes, then drained out the water. It's called blanching.
Now, I'm ready to make my brine. That's my pickling liquid.
Brine is a boiled mixture of salt, vinegar, and water.
Oh, my. Vinegar is in a lot of salad dressings, but it's also used for pickling. It makes the cucumbers ferment.
Ferment is a fancy way of saying a food changes so that it won't spoil.
Oh, well. We pour the brine over the cucumbers.
Cover it up.
And this is where it gets hard.
We wait.
Get comfy. Pickling whole cucumbers takes about two weeks.
