Why I Love This Recipe
A couple of years ago, a friend sent me some Cinnamon pickles made in a little factory not far from where she lived. I loved them!! But then anything with cinnamon has to be good, right? LOL Anyway, I went on a hunt to find a recipe I could try to make on my own to see if I couldn't come up with a similar version. Here's what I found. They are very good and very, very pretty!!! I found this in an Amish Cookbook from IN!!Kay says, I got 9 pints of the prettiest red pickles!! :O) Yummm!!

3 c. water
