Many many thanks(from sons too)
Hi Grannie: I'm so glad the recipe was helpful to you. I forgot one thing when I wrote the recipe...AFTER THE PICKLES ARE MADE AND PROCESSED THEY KIND OF GET SHRIVILLED UP A BIT BUT BY THE TIME YOU ARE READY TO EAT THEM - A MONTH OR SO, THEY'LL BE PLUMP JUST LIKE WHEN YOU PROCESSED THEM. Don't know why they shrivil up after the 10 minute canning process but they DO!
I taught a class on how to make the pickles last year and got a call from every student who made them at home and were having 6 fits from Friday because their pickles were shrivilled. Not to worry, they plump up later.
