MISC OLD PICKLES

[daveb]

i am going to toss a number of recipes of pickles from great grandmothers , grandmother aunts and mom records up to share, enjoy and eat well. Many of these have fallen out of use by people today and lost but some are pickles i grew up munching on growing up on grandparents farm in the 60's. please excuse the scribble writing on a few when you are trying to keep up with someone rattling along in old french canadian and listening and writing at same time it got crazy.

















the first ripe cucumber pickle is on the original page from great grandmothers recipe book















the following marinated onions i did make into a preserved version added a pinch of alum heated until just at simmer packet into sterile hot jars and water bathed for 15 minutes they didn't turn out half bad not sure of shelf life because the 20 qts i put up did not last very long

So glad I learned to read/write cursive at school. I pity this modern generation that would have great difficulty deciphering that elegant scribble!

makes me wonder if i should also type them out it straight up text form because you are right most today do not learn nor can they read old cursive, I translate old parish records i laugh thinking about people trying to read those in how cursive style changed over the centuries

Wow, thanks for taking the time to post these recipes; some of my favorite foods are unavailable to me here unless I make them from scratch, and many newer recipes are based on prepared foods 😁 Hate to see information get "out-cycled" that might prove to be important!!! Like pickle recipes!!!!
