Personal Notes:
This was my grandmother's recipe, and she would always make it in this big chipped glass Pyrex that I can still imagine her carrying over for Sunday dinner. She grew up in the Depression and lived on an industrial chicken farm for many years, so she was a very practical no-nonsense woman. She never considered herself a good cook, but all my siblings and I LOVED her cooking and baking. She used every bit of the food she bought and it was always so good. I love this recipe because it is SO easy, and the pickles only get better over time and you don't have to worry about canning and that whole mess. I hope that these pickles crisp up lunch on a hot Williamsburg afternoon!
