Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Aunt Dolly's recipe doesn't indicate how many jars of pickles this makes, so have plenty ready. You should process the filled jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes for pints and 15 minutes for quarts (start timing when the water reaches a second boil after the jars are lowered into it). Remove the jars from the hot water with tongs, and set on a kitchen towel to cool. You should hear the lids "pop" as they are standing to cool. Test the seals of each jar by pressing on the lid. If it gives, the seal is not tight and you should put the jar in the fridge and use it within a few weeks.
