Personal Notes:
These are the tastiest, crispiest, sweetest pickles you will ever eat. Zella Pampe made these pickles every year and loved giving them away along with the green glass-lidded canning jars she packed them in. We accumulated our own supply from her gifts. There is more to the canning process than her recipe shows. Call on someone who has made the recipe for more instruction on canning.
