I'll never forget the pickles my dad's third wife made.
Recipe:
Wash cucumbers and put in Mason Jar till filled 3/4 full.
Place one sprig of dill and one peppercorn in jar.
Add any old vinegar to jar till filled to top.
Cover jar and store in basement till vinegar turns to gasoline.

I was sent home with two cases of pickles.
Two dozen lid sets later I had a nice collection of mason jars!
