Impromptu Pickling

Yesterday was our last day of school before winter break. We had so much to accomplish before the end of the year 2012! We were still exploring the connection of wax candles to crayons, plus continuing our potato experiments, both Chanukah topics in need of a conclusion.

Even with so much to do, as a Reggio-inspired school, we try to live in the moment and seize opportunities as they present themselves.

With a long break approaching, we knew that we would not be able to finish all of the cucumbers generously brought in by our Fruit and Veggie parent. We asked ourselves, what can we do with these wonderful cucumbers?? And that's when inspiration struck: Make pickles!

 

We sliced the cukes, mixed together water, salt, vinegar, sugar and pickling spice and put it all into a pitcher. We put the pitcher in our refrigerator look forward to enjoying pickles in 2013!
