Margaret Mellon's Pickle Wreaths
Dec 23, 2015
"Most of my life I have been fortunate enough to live with people, starting with my father, who were able and enthusiastic cooks. As a result, my personal recipe box is pretty slim. But here is one for "pickle wreaths" that is right down my alley—simple, splashy and delicious. It came from my sister in Kansas." -- Margaret Mellon
