I have only let this sit about a week, but had to taste, as I am giving to my daughter, who requested I make her some dill pickles. It's already a very strong flavor and will be great alone, or on sadwiches. I'm sure my DD will love them. Thanks!

I love to do Counted Cross Stitch, Knit, flower gardening, cooking and spending lots of time with my grandchildren. Hence the name Nana in the woods. I live in Northern Mn and the grandkids call me NaNa. The picture is of the deer that come to visit us on a daily basis due to the fact we feed them in the winter months. Oh yah I forgot to mention I'm also an animal lover.
I'm married have 1 child and 2 stepchildren and the best part is I have 3 grandchildren.
This website is great I'm always looking for new recipes and love to share mine.
