Pickle Recipes
Every family has that person who loves pickle unconditionally. I know my family has one because the pickle almost always vanishes within days! Maybe that is why we prepare the pickle so often? In fact, many prefer pickles as a spread for bread rather than jam these days. Be it any dish, any occasion, any place, any day, it won't be a surprise to find that pickles are a part of the menu. Today we will learn how to make a few varieties of pickles following some easy recipes presented to us by Mrs. Hema.
