My grandmother made delicious pickles all of the time when I was growing up. It was her mothers recipe, and she was very proud of them. When she passed away two years ago I got her recipe box. While I was going through the box this week I came across the pickle recipe twice. One of them must be her mothers copy. I think it is a sign I need to make them. I miss her dearly. We spent a lot of time together.
That is my great grandmother in the photo. I love that picture of her.
Ooh Pam, how wonderful. such precious memories . I never knew my maternal grandmother ever use a recipe or ever measure ingredients, but she was an amazing cook. She made a beautiful everyday fruit cake - I wish I had her recipe - as I have failed to produce anything like it!
