Sweet Cucumber Pickles
"My MIL shared this recipe with me 30 years ago and taught me how to can & freeze.This recipe is a family favorite & is being passed generation to generation. Don't let the process scare you,the pickles are well worth the effort. Delicious in potato or tuna salad. Great on burgers. I make a "pickle tray" for covered dish dinners and these are the first to go and they receive many compliments. I think people like them because they are crisp."

I live in the Sandhills of NC,known for its golf courses. My favorite cookbooks are ones compiled by churches & civic organizations.I have a son who is a chef. My most treasured compliment came from him. He asked if the cheesecake he made & served in the restaurant was as good as the recipe I use. I enjoy cooking & reading. A pet peeve:People who say they don't like a certain food when they haven't even tasted it.
Recipezaar is wonderful!! If I can think about an ingredient I can find a recipe for it.
