WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE: This was Grandma Mollie’s recipe. I helped Mom make the pickles, and her unorthodox first step was to wash the pickling cucumbers by putting them in the washing machine and running the rinse cycle! When a jar of pickles was used up, Mom would save the pickled banana pepper for my Uncle Mel, who liked to eat them.
