Pickles, especially in the villages, were necessary to every home, as there were no fresh winter vegetables. So, housewives used to make large quantities in order to have them till the spring.
Tasty and aromatic, pickles give a nice color to our table. Sometimes spicy, sometimes sweet and sour, pickles give wonderful flavor to salads and meats, but can also be pleasantly eaten on their own.
