I think they got gone too fast at Grandmama's house, because PaPa sure loved them fried. <BR/><BR/>And the watermelon rind pickles were the first to fly off our Thanksgiving table---but I LOVE the way you describe them on yours...<BR/><BR/>Canning was such a great ritual, but all this domesticity skipped right over my Mama because I was the ORGINAL bastard out of Carolina. No matter, she "eloped" right away but it always seemed "housekeeping" was never set up proper, and my domestic arts were learned at Grandmama's knee instead.<BR/><BR/>I claimed all her canning equipment when she passed over, and I use her cheap little water bath pot every other year or so to honor her in what ever small way I can manage with whatever produce I can scrounge locally here in Virginia. <BR/><BR/>And can I hear an AMEN! for the recipe!!! Woohooo!!Thanks Rosie!seejanemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15776688280055809412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-45783722194543219992007-02-10T18:06:00.000-05:002007-02-10T18:06:00.000-05:00My grandma canned every known fruit and vegetable,...My grandma canned every known fruit and vegetable, but she never did these. And I don't have the time or courage to can, so can I come to your house for some of those pickles? They look like heaven in a jar.<BR/><BR/>I always fry my green tomatoes.Anne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083739996560380258noreply@blogger.com
