Get them in a gallon jug at Costco. So Good

I can't get them any more but my mom made great pickles and my grandmother made this relish called Green Tomato Ketchup. It was spicy, not quite sweet not quite savory and very spicy. It had cabbage and big chunks of cucumber in it. I wish I had the recipe!!!

... and not just any sour - a New York full sour.

These turn out to be not so easy to find here in the midwest. Sometimes I make my own.

I’ve never tried a sour or half sour pickle. My future DIL makes refrigerator pickles out of zucchini. They’re good.

For snacking, a huge kosher dill that goes great with cheddar cheese. On hamburgers, dill chips. On turkey or chicken sandwiches, bread and butter. In tartar sauce, dill relish and in tuna or egg salad, sweet relish. Occasionally, on a charcuterie tray, baby gherkins. That's the way the cucumber pickles.

Love them, but I love the classic kosher dill as well. I did find B&B pickle slices sugar free and they’re pretty good (Mt Olive brand).

But has some with a lil heat. “Not hot jalapeños.” I’m sure he wouldn’t mind being called an old hippie. Slightly eccentric. But his pickles are heavenly. I’m very partial. We get them when we can. He’s aging and does business whenever the mood strikes him. We used to live in Picayune. He has a huge sign on his business. WE’RE NEVER OPEN. Which isn’t necessarily true.

These keep in the fridge for months. Excellent in sandwiches, on cheese or in a salad.

MAGIC PICKLES (Aunt June)

½ cup cider vinegar
1 qt. kosher dill pickles (no garlic)
2 to 3 cups white sugar, depending on how sweet you like them

Put vinegar in a ½ gallon jar or ceramic bowl. Drain pickles & slice lengthwise or cut into chunks.
Put pickles into jar and pour sugar on top. DO NOT STIR. Close jar and let stand at room temperature for 8 to 10 days. The sugar should have dissolved by then; if not, shake jar. Refrigerate and eat.
To make more, after all the pickles are eaten, add another quart of kosher pickles, sliced or chunked, and add 1 cup of sugar. Let stand at room temperature for 10 days. Refrigerate and eat.

Makes a delicious sweet crisp pickle
