14 Day Pickles image

This recipe came from my grandmother. From the looks of the paper she wrote it on it has probably been around a very long time! My mother gave me the recipe when my grandmother passed and it was in her own handwriting, which makes it extra special to me. It is a treasure to me.. from her kitchen!
