REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLE SPEARS
I received this recipe from the McCormick Web site in a weekly e-mail. I have made a few changes to suit our tastes. I now have to limit our family to 1 quart a week or they will eat 3 quarts weekly. This makes a very sour pickle with loads of flavor. It also makes an excellent addition to most cold salads.Hope you enjoy this as much as we do. (cooking time stated is cooling time and prep time is soaking and prep time)
