GRANDMA'S SWEET PICKLES image

When I was a kid Grandma made all kind of pickles. She made sweet pickles, pickled watermelon rinds, pickled okra,and pickled green tomatoes, I could go on and on. The pickles where great, but the love she put into making them was awesome. I hope I can make these as good as grandma!!!
