Kosher Pickles

[WebGenii]

Does anyone have a recipe for Kosher Pickles? I made them once many years ago with a friend but didn't keep the recipe.

TIA

But do you keep a kosher kitchen? <img src=/S/smile.gif border=0 alt=smile width=15 height=15>

My great gran had several dozen pickle recipies, some sweet, hot, or so sour your face would be screwed up for a week. And very dangerous ones that were packed in salt barrels, which was odd, because she believed that you shouldn't have salt on your tomatoes <img src=/S/crazy.gif border=0 alt=crazy width=15 height=15> because it would make your blood dry up.

I am assuming you want very sharp ones but if you are a bit more specific, I see what I can dig up.

No, I don't keep a kosher kitchen. Just loved those pickles. The difference is that the pickles are fermented. No canning required and since it is very hot here in the tropics of Alberta. I'm thinking fondly of anything that won't be steaming up the kitchen.

And very dangerous ones ... Dangerous Pickles? Who knew <img src=/S/shrug.gif border=0 alt=shrug width=39 height=15> <img src=/S/grin.gif border=0 alt=grin width=15 height=15>. I'd like to hear more about them just because I'm curious.

When my great gran died, I got the recipe book and all the scribbled notes and odd bits of paper with some very unusual things like deep fried macaroni croquettes. Don't ask. But attached is some of the pickle recipies. But I am afraid you are going to have to steam up the kitchen a bit. Wrap yourself in a towel and pretend you are at a spa having a sauna.

Well, that's the excuse I use.

Hetty,

I love old recipes and old cook books. I have my husband's grandmother's <img src=/S/granny.gif border=0 alt=granny width=20 height=20> books. One tells you how to cook everything from possum to cottage cheese; set a formal table; and live off a generous salary of $5000 annually <img src=/S/money.gif border=0 alt=money width=17 height=15> or if you are having hard times $1000 annually <img src=/S/2cents.gif border=0 alt=2cents width=15 height=15> . (I would cook with homemade cottage cheese but I did not care for the texture by itself.)

If you have time and the inclination I am sure there are many out there that would be interested in the best, most unusual and or otherwise most interesting recipes she left for you. <img src=/S/please.gif border=0 alt=please width=31 height=23>

<img src=/S/thankyou.gif border=0 alt=thankyou width=40 height=15> for the pickle recipes!
