How the hell did our forefathers make it....

[Carrie]

homemade bread n' butter pickles grown from the garden out back at my grandfather's house, canned in a hot and fragrant kitchen and cracked open and eaten in a cool, dark root cellar...
Now *that* was heaven. My grandmother made the world's best bread n butter pickles. (She was pretty good at canning everything else, too! Especially those huge Tennessee beefsteak tomatoes )
