Garden Recipe: Cucumber & Dill Spread

Whatcha’ gonna do with all your cukes?

I have a suggestion:

How about Cucumber & Dill Spread? It’s delicious, so long as you like cucumbers.

And it’s easy.

And the kids love it {contrary to their “this is going to make me barf” facial expressions}.

I had it at 10:30 this morning and it was mighty fine. I like to serve it open-faced on pumpernickel and top it with fresh Romas and then sprinkle a little dill & Jane’s over top. Have any of you looked for Jane’s Krazy Salt? I’m wondering if it’s a “southern” thing. It’s made in South Carolina and I had no problem finding it in Tallahassee but haven’t checked here.

It only sat on that plate for about 30 seconds before I devoured it.

    Awesome! Thanks for the recipe. I hope I have enough cucumbers that I don't know what to do with them – then I can make lots of this. =) It's our first year gardening, so I don't wanna get too high of hopes.

    I love that someone is shopping at the Piggly Wiggly in Geneva! Beba calls it the "Hoggly Woggly" which cracks me up! I've not looked for Jane's – must do! I hope you saved some of that for me (bringing with you!?)! I am making Pimento Cheese. Chance is gonna starve this weekend, I don't think he'd touch either with a 10' pole.
    Love you,

    i grew up on janes and i use it in everything (all soup needs it). i buy it sometimes even if i don't need it. i think it's pretty common. this dates me a little, but they referenced janes one time on an episode of will and grace!!
    i will certainly be trying your recipe. i just made your frosted banana bars last week, and i've gotten a lot of folks hooked!!

    What lens on your camera did you use for those pictures? I am just getting started on playing with a camera and I can't get the "all purpose" lens to fuzz out the background, but the macro lens does?!?!? All that to say, what lens did you use? Thanks so much!

    Jane's Krazy Salt has been a fav of mine since I was a child. I have always loved it on hamburgers. I really like to take a burger, cut up potatoes, carrots, celery, mushrooms, drench it all with Jane's Krazy Salt, wrap all of it in foil, bake it for around an hour. Yummy!!!!

    I’m not a big fan of cucumber but this looked so good and cucumbers were on sale at my supermarket this week so I decided to try it. I’m so glad did! This was really good. I’m new to your blog and have been following it for just a short time now. I have to say I normally don’t follow blogs but there’s just something about yours that draws me to it 🙂 Thank you for the wonderful recipe and allowing us to have a glipse into your life and your family as well.
