My childhood memories are surrounded by my grandmother's kitchen and the wonderful aroma eminating from it. In my mind's eye I can still my grandmother bent over her big black canning pot with her hair plastered to her face and the intense look of concentration as she lifted each jar of her Bread and Butter Pickles to put on a rack for cooling. The pungent aroma of vinegar and pickling spices engulfed the kitchen in a way that still brings a wave of nostalgia whenever I smell it years later.
