4 1/2 teaspoons double acting baking powder (1 1/2 tsp)

THE Pickle booklet that I used as part of the public training that I offered when I was the Cooperative Extension Agent and taught food preservation classes in the community. I gave out free copies of this 31 page booklet in my 1982 workshop classes.  This booklet is a classic and has the best recipes including some of the most requested old fashioned recipes.  It was copyrighted in 1981 by H. J. Heinz Co. and printed and distributed as a freebie.

Attached is a PDF version of the booklet that scanned for keeping an archive copy.

USDA Recommend the Home and Garden Bulletin No 92 “Making Pickles and Relishes at Home” as the best source of information for making pickles.
