Jackie Dohn Mass
of Plymouth, MN always regretted that no on taught her how to make
the sumptuous picles she enjoyed as a child and so she taught herself.
Now she's pickling up a storm with recipes like Grandma Lorraine's
German Russian tradition, Watermelon
Pickles, made with the red flesh of the watermelon not the white
rind as in the more familiar but less flavorful Scandanavian version.
A native of Jamestown,
North Dakota, Jackie traces her family roots back to Bessarabia and
Southern Russia. Jackie is a member of the Verrueckte Frauen (Crazy
Women) a group of women who meet monthly to practice traditional recipes
and celebrate their German Russian heritage.
