This recipe is from Vivian's mother, Rosie Ermoian. Vivian was my secretary during my brief tenure at Glendale College after I retired. We have remained friends since then, having lunch and theatre dates. We both love music and share favorite artists!
When I made it, I filled a large 2 qt jar. I could have made half of the brine and it would have been plenty.
