John, the Mrs. Wages pickle mix package calls for the vinegar and
water. It varies between Polish, Kosher and dill, but is about 5
cups vinegar and 10 cups water. The mixed up pickle mix stores well
in the fridge, and some of our other favorites to use it on are
green beans, asparagus, and , of course, cucumbers.
