31 July 2022 Processing Cucumber​

Posted on 07/31/2022 by Durgan
Cucumbers 4677 grams (about ten pounds) were processed into 7 liters of pressure canned juice. The process was wash, cut into smaller pieces to cook about 30 minutes, hand blend into a homogenous slurry, strain to remove seeds, fill 7 one liter jars of the juice to presure can at 15 PSI for 15 minutes for long gterm storage. Pictures depict the process. Cucumbers are prolific and make a most refreshing drink.

The cucumbers I grow are all female, seedless, with thin skins which do not require peeling & have a mild, but distinctly delicious flavour.
Since my friends & neighbours know this, I seldom have a surplus of that size.
When I lived in Cheshire, the tap water wasn't nice, & when working at my allotments, I'd often just take one, rinse it, & eat it as a drink substitute.
Yum!

I process skin along with the rest of the cucumber. It disappears when the slurry is made.
