I can remember when My Folks and grandparents also my wife said her mother
and others put a grape leaf in with the pickles while canning 70 years ago.
You even seen it when you went visiting and someone opened pickles.

In the 60's, when I was attending Mich. State Univ., I told my mother to
put a grape leaf in the quart jar of pickles. This kept them crisp for at
least 6 to 9 months. They otherwise tended to get soft and soggy and were
not very appealing. I think the head of the Hort. Dept. mentioned, although
I am not sure after all this time. Paul S.
