Pickle Recipes: Put Summer Flavor in a Jar
Ann Myers, of Carthage, Illinois, sends this last of the garden recipe for pickled vegetables, saying it is from an old cookbook from the House of Gurney that was published in Yankton, South Dakota. “I have no idea how old it is as it belonged to my mother, and I’m 82. So it has to have been around a long time,” she writes.
