And as promised for the first time on the internet Anita's mother-in-law's blue ribbon winning potato salad. I hear the "secret sauce" is really the pickles. So start this NOW!
BEA’S SWEET PICKLES
1 quart sliced dill pickles, drained
½ cup tarragon vinegar
2 ¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons pickling spices
Combine sugar and vinegar, let stand at room temp until sugar dissolves, about 4 hours. Put picking spices in a square of muslin. Tie up. Return half of pickles to jar with half of sugar syrup. Add spice bag and remaining syrup. Refrigerate. Let sit for 24 hours before use.
BEA’S POTATO SALAD
2 potatoes, peeled , diced, and cooked
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 hard boiled eggs, peeled, and sliced
1/4 cup Bea’s Sweet pickles, chopped
1/4 to 1/2 cup Bea's Sweet Pickle juice
1 to 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
Mayonnaise to taste
Salt and pepper
Let potatoes cool; combine potatoes, celery, egg, and sweet pickles. Add small mustard, mayonnaise, and sweet pickle juice, along with salt and pepper to taste.
Now raise the flag and start the parade you are ready!!
