Personal Notes:
Mother, Grandmother, Great-gram, & Great-great-gram Goodrich [that's ONE Great lady!] always made these pickles, and they were a huge family favorite. She shared the pickles with everyone, but not many others made them. [Once, when driving with them to CT. she inadvertently SAT in them!] Try it...you'll like them!
