These look gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the recipe. An Mama Ruby looks lovely too!
Is the non-iodised salt necessary. We can only get iodised salt here. Does it make a difference to the taste or the process?
Love and peace

Thanks Tony,
I called mom, and she said only use non-iodized salt. Taste and texture of the pickles is influenced. Just try to find "canning salt" from the grocery.
Thanks for the visit.
