Recipe: re: Salt Pickles

Dear Carol,
My grandmother also made salt pickles and i do believe you are right about it only being salt and water. I remember going out with her and she would take the lid off the bucket and skim the stuff off the top and then she would put more salt in it and stir it up. Frankly, i thought they would taste nasty, but they were the best pickles i have ever tasted. Now, i haven't made salt pickles myself, but i just know that is the way she did it. I hope i've helped, if you haven't gotten an answer yet.

Addition:
Oh sorry Carol! I forget to tell you how many days the pickles were to sit. I believe it was at least a week. I know my grandma taste-tested them so myabe that was another one of her recipes that went by taste. As far as how much salt i know it was quite a bit at first, but then i think it was like a cup that she added in the morning. You don't have to heat up the brine or drain it while the pickles are pickling. That is about all i can remember, for now.
