Question
Comer
QUESTION When I was a young girl in lowa, my mother
used to put up a sweet dill pickle which I believe they called a
“Gherkin." I asked my husband to plant some of these but have
found it impossible to purchase any such seed. Can anyone
advise me as to whether this midget pickle is called a "Gherkin"
and if so, where can I purchase it? Also, I would like to have a
recipe for this sweet/sour spiced pickle, if any of your readers
can supply one.
