Cucumber Prep for Pickles

Grandmommie’s sweet pickles recipe is almost 100 years old. Unlike other family recipes, this one hasn’t been tweaked even slightly. The only thing her grandchildren and great grandchildren do differently is, the initial sterilzation of the jars is now done in the dishwasher, which didn’t exist in her pickling days. The pickles themsleves and the juice of these pickles are key to her yummy potato salad. I also pour a bit into my deviled eggs and tuna fish. My family loves them on hamburgers and sandwiches. A jar of these delicacies makes a great hostess or Christmas gift during the holidays.
