Jalapeño Bread and Butter Pickles (with extra brine)

My Jalapeño plants have been crazy this year and I can’t keep up with the fresh peppers, so I knew I had to do some canning this weekend. I made Bread and Butter Banana Peppers at the end of the season last year and they were a big hit with everyone I gave jars to. One of my friends really likes to add the pickle juice to her eggs before she cooks them, so this time I made extra brine and did a full jar of brine for her!

My tweaks: None! Other than I made a bit extra of the brine mixture for my friend.

BBQ Hearts of Palm Sandwich

I bookmarked this recipe about a month ago because it looked so easy. Then I forgot about it until I was reviewing my bookmarks. I got the ingredients this week and made it for lunch today. It was very easy and delicious, especially with the homemade BBQ sauce. I’ve tried making sandwiches with jackfruit before, but it’s genius to use hearts of palm.

My tweaks: I pretty much followed the recipe, but I added some avocado and fresh sliced tomato from the garden.
