Personal
Notes: My grandmother always sent a few jars of these pickles home with us whenever we came for a visit (which were too far and few between as we were a military family.) Grandma passed the recipe on to me and I've been making them for my own family for the past 22 years. Grandma Rose may have passed away years ago but her memory lives on in the recipes of our family!
