Sun Crock Pickles & Refrigerator Pickles
Recipes from Diane and Ruth. As for Diane’s sun crock pickles, setting things out in the sun to essentially “cook” was not an abnormal sight for the family. Grandma Henry’s “sun tea” was a great favorite among everyone. She’d put water and tea bags into a huge jar (the kind that used to contain colossal-sized pickles) and leave it out in the sun to steep.
