Hi there, all you nice peo
ple. This is pickle making time
and 1 wonder if most of us
couldn’t use a few points for
pickel making. There are a few
basic things
to remember
when making
pickles. First
of all, its a
very good i
dea to pick
the cucum
bers, wash
them, and
then either
■ viifliv * J Drine or pro
~ Blanche Spann ceed as your
Pease recipe in- i
structs. Don't pick them and !
let them lay around for two or
three days or longer and then
expect good results.
Don’t buy bargain spices for |
making pickles, and always (
* buy the spices fresh each sea
son. Spices kept over from one !
year to another have nothing j
to contribute to making good
pickles. Use the best quality of
fresh spices you can buy, and j
you’ll have better pickles.
It is psually better to use j
whole spices than ground ones I
because then you know you .
are getting more spices for the
money and that the flavor and
essence of the spices has not
been lost by poor milling and
packaging. Use a good grade
of cidar vinegar, too, for best
results.
White vinegar is sometimes
used for some products like j
fruits because it is colorless. (

Standard strength vinegar is
not strong enough for pickle
making, standard vinegar is
"40 grain". Ask for "50" to
“60" grain vinegar for mak
ing pickles.
Put spices in a cloth bag
when cooking them in vineg
ar. Long boiling spoils the
flavor of vinegar and makes
the spices bitter that you use
in the vinegar.
Grape leaves or cherry leaves
give cucumbers a bright green
color and a characteristic flav
or. Use agate or porcelain
lined kettles because of the
chemicals action of vinegar on
metals.
Try to remember that alum
is an astringent which tends
to contact body tissues. It pro
bably should not be used in
any quantity to produce firm
ness in pickles, though a bit
of alum used to ‘‘crisp’’ the
family favorite can do no ap
preciable harm. Just don’t get
oo zealous and add large a
mounts.
If you are brining cucum
bers, be sure that you keep
them completely covered with
brine while curing. The whole
batch may spoil if even a few
stand above the brine. Use a
brine of correct strength, weak
brine causes soft pickles, and
if the brine is too strong, the
pickles will shrivel.
Remove scum a. it forms on
top of the brine. ®Scum causes
spoilage. Do not Start pickles
to cook in a heavy sugar sir
up. It is better to add sugar
on two or three successive
days than to run the risk of
having the pickles tough and
shriveled.

I made something we thought
was sort of good the other day
and it will lend itself to var
iety. I bought a can of kidney
beans. I prefer a good grade
and get the red or purple ones.
Put in colander to drain for
half an hour. Dice up several
sweet pickles and two hard
boiled eggs, and dice perhaps
half a medium sized onion.
Salt and use mayonnaise dres
sing to mix. Allow to chill for
half a day so that the flavors
get well blended.
This salad can be varied, too.
Try adding a little diced cel
ery to taste or a tablespoon of
finely chopped green raw pep
per.
Yesterday I made potatoe
salad. I used spuds cooked with
jackets on and hard boiled
eggs, diced onion, and season
ed with salt and pepper. Then
3 used mayonaise sandwich
filling which has chopped pick
es in it. instead of my usual
salad dressing. Cover and chill
in refrigerator before serving.
Recently I ate a potatoe salad
