CRYSTAL PICKLES
Wonderful crunchy. almost transparent, sweet pickles that you can't buy in any store anymore. Many of todays cooks have probably never even heard of this pickle.You need a large container with a lid to soak these, but it's an easy, no-fail recipe. These pickles are a favorite in our house. The recipe is very old, but the pickles will be gone before you know it.
