Clare Turner’s Cucumber Delight Pickles

These make great gifts.  Also, serving them in the large bowl is perfect for a party.  This old fashioned recipe is so easy and is similar to a bread and butter pickle. You can always adjust your ingredients if you prefer less onion or more dill flavor. Thanks to our wonderful friend Clare who lives in Charlotte and watches Local Dish on wral.com every week!
