I have been looking for this recipe, not sure whether to use cider or white vinegar? Thank you.

Hi Becky,

You can use either, or a mixture of both. The white vinegar is nicer looking in the jar, while the cider vinegar tastes a bit better. Newer processing methods skip the jar sterilizing step and instead process the pickles afterwards. But I still use the original method that's been used successfully for at least a century because the pickles stay more crisp and it always has worked for me. (And it worked for Grandma, too!)

Made this today, reminded me of my grandmothers house. Tastes just like hers.

I grew up eating these pickles with Thanksgiving Dinner. My great-grandmother (Nana) made them. I don't have her recipe, I don't think anyone ever did. I searched until I found it - online. It's a "new" tradition for me to make them every year, hand out a few to friends, and serve them with Thanksgiving Dinner.
