Lazy Housewife Pickles Recipe
Date on Nana's recipe card 1968, she made several batches a year of these. I think she probably learned this from Aunt Mabel but I can't trace the heritage. I liked the name because my mom (Nana) was anything but lazy. She was a phenomenal woman. ... More

I've been looking for this recipe forever!!! My aunt made these when I was I child and I loved them. She called them "lazy woman pickles" and she was anything but lazy also.......lol Thanks so much for posting this.


Do these taste like a sweet pickle or dill or ??


These are like a bread and butter pickle, sweet with the sugar, tart with the vinegar and spiced with mustard, peppercorn, clove and celery seed. No dill used here. I find it hard to wait a week but then I'll eat just about anything pickled. I have a severe weak spot for vinegar on everything. Greens, beans, cornbread and pickles.


These really do sound yummy. I'll be making up a batch of these as soon as I get my hands on all the ingredients. Thanks for sharing.


Bread & Butter pickles? Yummy! Makin' these!


I`ll be going to get groceries in a few days and I will for sure be making these.


Thank you for this recipe... I'm getting over run with cukes... five forks
