Pickles…a description from Grandma Phyllis

they brine for 12 days

then every 9 days she has to put new syrup on them

she has to stir them every day in the buckets with salt and brine

it gets all moldy on top by the time the 12 days are up

then, you have to do something to them every day

she has to boil up the syrup every day for 9 days

pickles can keep for a long time. why, just the other day, she ate pickles from 5 years ago and they were delicious.

dad helps her every day. she just needs the help. she just doesn't know if she trusts herself with the syrup, carrying it and stuff.

dad was really excited when she told him how many pickles this would make.

he told her she was done after this. these will last two years. she's done. this is her last batch.

she's off to the pizza ranch today for lunch. but, she's leaving in ten minutes.
