I would love the recipe for Ronnie’s Deli (Orlando) dill pickles, that you said you had back in 2012 J  
Can’t tell you how many I ate growing up in Winter Park, FL.

Hi Ellen,

The below recipe was printed in the Orlando Sentinel.

It’s also here, with photos: Lisa Hoxie

I’m also including the pickled pepper strips recipe.

Ronnie's Kosher-Style Pickles

Fresh cucumbers, enough to fill 5-gallon crock
3 gallons water
1 pound salt
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
4 ounces mixed pickling spices
1 bunch fresh dill
1 loaf of stale rye bread broken into chunks

Place cucumber in crock, mix salt into water and pour over cucumbers. Add garlic, spices and 
fresh dill on top. Add rye bread chunks. Cover crock with cheesecloth.
Put lightweight stone, large enough to submerge pickles and ingredients in brine. Keep at room 
temperature for 3 days. Cure in refrigerator for 5 more days.
The pickles must be stored in refrigerator.

1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar

Add water to pepper strips, stir in sugar and pickling spices, finish with distilled white vinegar.
Shake well.
Refrigerate 24 hours before serving.
Store in refrigerator as you would any cold-pack pickle.

Makes about 1 quart or 4 servings.

What was the name of the pineapple, cottage cheese and cheddar cheese salad 
make at DH Holmes in the 1960’s?
Thanks, Fran 

Hello Fran,

I wrote to a friend of mine who has a copy of the D H Holmes cookbook "Bayou Banquet." Here is what he said.

"The D.H. Holmes book is "Bayou Banquet..Recipes from a potpourri of cultures." There is no recipe in the book for the pineapple, cottage cheese and cheddar salad. Sorry. This was a basic salad that many cafeterias used. A&W Cafeteria which was a New Orleans-based cafeteria has a recipe in their book and they called it Pineapple Cottage Cheese. Morrison's called it Fruit and Cottage Cheese and pineapple was sometimes used and other times it was pears or peaches. Hope that helps. James
