The pickles are done. I processed 9 pints and put 1 quart in the
refrigerator. The quart does not have much syrup. They are nice and
crisp but the flavor is not bad, but not quite what I want. I think I
will use this recipe for the procedure and use the syrup from my older
recipe. They are not too different. Mrs. Wage's recipe did not
mention putting the pickling spices in cheesecloth and I did not think
about it. I tried to keep most of the spices out.
