Picklelicious




Gan Aleph had a wonderful time preparing for the ECD Bracha party last week. The children prepared pickles for the department to be able to make the bracha "Boreh Pri Ha'adamah". We read a recipe and watched a very short video clip on our computer that demonstrated how pickles are made. The children worked together to wash and slice the cucumbers. They prepared the dill and pickling spices. We boiled a vinegar and sugar mixture in order to prepare the brine. Finally, the children packed the pickles in to containers to let sit and become pickles. What a wonderful way for the children to learn about where the foods they eat come from. They were delicious! Have you ever made pickles at home before?
