I recently attended a Ladies of Virtue meeting for our church. I was asked to bring tea sandwiches. I had never made these types of sandwiches before, but I was super excited because I had just gotten a KitchenAid Stand Mixer and was itching to test it. First, I made some french bread using Pillsbury dough and my Pampered Chef bread tin. While that was baking, I made 2 loaves of homemade white bread using the new mixer. The next day, I whipped up to salad spreads. The first was tuna and the second, a cream cheese base for cucumbers. I topped the tuna tea sandwiches with fresh basil, picked right from our garden. The little cucumbers for the cucumber tea sandwiches also came from my garden.
I thought that these came out looking beautiful! And they didn't taste too bad either (surprising since I am not a big fan of either tuna or cucumbers!).
The cucumbers are starting to really pick up in quantity and most days, I am able to can at least one quart. Right now, I am making only dill pickles, and once my dill seasoning runs out, I will switch to bread and butter. I am really pleased with the results of these Parisian Pickling Cucmbers!
Happy Canning to everyone!
