Title: Pickles
Post by: Gobble Doc on September 25, 2017, 07:06:34 PM: I'm into a mult-day task of making sweet chunks. Grannys recipe. Just got done with first week of brining and soaking. Cut up cukes tonight and doing another 2 day soak. Should be done a week from now. 3 double batches.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170926/bc99cd1c31111746264c8d45675a0546.jpg)

I would love to look at your recipe if you are willing to share.

I can send you the recipe for sure. It's not a lot different than the one at this website. I think the ones I'm doing take a couple weeks when it's all said and done.

Strangely, they're musk melons instead of cucumbers, but they taste like a mild cucumber when eaten raw.

Add garlic, vinegar, salt to taste and peppers if desired. Turn upside down after several hours.
