pickle quickies
Mom cut this daily Heloise article out of the Canton Repository. I don't know the date but I remember her trying this one and talking about it. I remember reading the clipping, too. I also remember her raving about the results and making them again, and again, for some time, until she got tired of them. I don't recall eating them myself... Maybe because Mom was hiding them and eating them all on her own! LOL

Step 7NOTE FROM HELOISE II: Laura, you're a sweetie. I tried this, except I didn't boil the pickle juice and cucumbers, just poured the juice in a jar. Boy, were they good! The only suggestion I might make is to rinse and drain the cucumbers so they won't be too salty. OUTSTANDING!
