I remember that, as a child, I would watch the women in our family make pickles. Because I loved pickles, it was an interesting process for me to watch. I remember thinking that some of the pickles should have been named "career pickles" because making them would rival the time it took to become a professional in a number of fields! Comparing "career pickles" with those produced by this recipe creates a new genre of homemade pickles - one that lacks the labor-intensive recipe, but presents a fabulous flavor, crispness and versitle treat, Well worth the time it takes to make and future batches will be, too! And there will be future batches ,,,
