For those that requested my easy pickle recipe here it is:
This recipe was used my mother and my aunt for may years.
MOM's PICKLES
slice enough cucumbers to make 3 gallons.
1 cup pickling lime (Mrs. Wages) also know as builders lime
Sugar (white)
vinegar white
pickling spices
sterile canning jars
Place sliced cucumbers in large bucket, EX. 5 gallon bucket works best. One cup lime plus enough water to cover the slices.
Let this soak overnight. Next morning rinse/wash slices until
water is clear. Lime will feel gritty on the slices.
Place cucumber slices in large pot, add 1 1/2 cups sugar to each 1 cup of vineger. Do this until covered. Put pickling spices in a cloth bag, an unused knee hose works good.
Let soak 3 hours.
Then bring to a hard boil for 20 minutes. Pack in sterile jars cap and let cool.
I like to cover the hot jars with a dish towel while cooling.
Enjoy
If a you have any questions please let me know.

Cukes are just starting to come on and I have been wanting to do some pickles for several years but we haven't gotten enough each year to do them. This might be the year and I definitely want to try this recipe. Looks good and not to hard. Thanks for sharing. Sally

This an easy recipe. I don't do anything that takes days or weeks. I would forget all about it. Maybe due to ADD, then life always has other things to remember.
