Pickles and pens

Last night I made dill pickles (I won't know how they taste for 8 weeks which is always a long wait for me!) and a "Pom pom pen."

I used this recipe. 2 small cucumbers from my garden and 2 large cucumbers from my mom's made 5 cans, so I almost had to double the recipe.

Unfortunately I can't remember where I found the instructions for the pen but basically you just make a fabric "pom pom" and glue it on :)
