Directions
Sunshine Dill Pickles, Years ago, our family received a jar of these as a house-warming gift when we moved My five brothers and I made very short work of that jar–we loved ’em! My mother has made several hundred gallons of these over the years And I still make at least one gallon every summer and a few times I’ve even canned them (transferred to quart jars or left in the gallon jar) after they’ve gotten their sun-tan They keep for MONTHS in the back of the fridge, or for longer if you can them My folks refer to these as Gramma Smart Pickles –after the little old lady who lived next door in Eagle, Wisconsin , Does anyone know if this recipe will work for okra?, I made these last year delicious but not crunchy I read adding grape leaves to the mix is supposed to keep them crisp I added one large leave in that jar before anything and two little ones as I was going along on the side so they’d show kind of pretty and a big leave like a cap over everything before the actual lid I will update when I see if it works but I hoped other people could try it as well for crisp pickles
