Pickles
When I was a little girl, my Gramma use to make a sweet cucumber pickle that was peeled, seeded, sliced the long way, no onions and no obvious spices. Unfortunately, the recipe has been lost and no one in the family has a clue. We use to call them Gramma's pickles, not much help when doing a recipe search.
My question is, can I just use the vinegar and sugar solution from other recipes and omit all the spices when canning them? I do have some pickle crisp granules by Ball that is supposed to omit the soaking step. Their website wasn't much help either.
This is only my second time making pickles as we usually don't have that many cucumbers from the garden and the first batch wasn't that good.
Thanks for any help!!
