Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Sweet Dill Pickles

Original Recipe from:  Lucy Griffin-Bowers

You don’t have to be skilled at canning to make these pickles.  Grandma always had a jar of Sweet Dill Pickles in her refrigerator.  They were a staple in her kitchen.  Grandma always served pickles and relishes at every meal.  To her the table wasn’t properly set if the relish tray was missing.  Judging from her recipes, she loved variety when it came to pickles.  Of course in her younger years she canned everything she could from her garden to enjoy throughout the year.  If you’ve never made pickles before, I recommend starting with this recipe and then branch out to more complicated recipes.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 quart Dill Pickles (whole), sliced and drained
1 onion, sliced
2 cups Sugar
2 tablespoons White Vinegar

Directions

Combine all ingredients and mix well.  Put back into the jar and let set over night before serving.  Keep refrigerated.
