Cucumber Pickle Recipe

Am posting the cucumber Recipe to the list. I'v been so busy"making pickles'
and all the other veggies  until I haven't had time to get it "ON"-that is
when I CAN get ONline-which isn't often these days.
Any other canning Lime can be used instead of Mrs.Wages. At least I would
think so--for those people in other areas of the country.  I don't know that
"mrs. Wages" is only sold in the South. I have seen it for sale in Walmart
where the canning supplies are displayed.
