PICKLES

My sister and I have always loved my grandmothers pickles. A few years ago she decided they were too much work and she was not going to can pickles anymore. My sister and I jumped into action and got her recipe. We have been making them ever since and have many of our friends addicted. This is the 1^st batch of this summers pickle canning run.

This is a step by step visual. Recipe below
