Old Fashioned Sweet Nine Day Pickles,Love these Sweet Pickles, one of the best sweet pickle recipes in my collection and one of the best I have ever tasted. This is one of those old old recipes shared by a lady that made really great pickles. Very easily made and not as time consuming as it sounds. While modern safety method requirements may call for processing I don’t process my pickles as I find it changes the taste and texture, you may do so if you wish. As with many of the old recipes some things just do not enter well … with this one it’s you have to be making up enough of each of the brine solutions to completely cover! NOTE be sure to use non – reactive containers ( stainless steel – unchipped enamel/porcelain, assure all your plastic bowls and containers are food grade),Why are my pickles shriveled?? Followed the recipe.,Do I let stand in the refrigerator?
