This is Little Rooster...He is one happy boy...why you ask?
Today was SWEET RELISH day at our house. Little Rooster can't eat anything with smothering it in SWEET RELISH. Today we bottled 48 pints, enough to last us awhile. It is a wonderful recipe one that has been passed through our community for many years. A tried and true recipe. Cucumbers are abundant right now, so the time was right.
