Add 10 T. cold cubed butter (the original recipe had 8 tbslp. Shortening and 2 tbslp. butter but we never have shortening on hand.)
And 5-6 tbsp. Ice water. Bring together with hands and refrigerate until use.

Note: It can be made by hand.

@Kusanar Are you going to make me a Pickle Meringue pie?

Thanks for the pie compliments everyone. I don't think I mentioned that I made scones the other day also. (Pumpkin and apple).

Today I decided to stop waiting and opened a jar of hot dill pickles. I have already gone through half of a quart jar of them.

Hot Dill Pickles

Small cucumbers or large cucumbers sliced into quarters and halved if too long.
Whole jalapenos
Garlic cloves

Dill
Grape leaves
1/4 tsp. pickling spices
1/4 tsp. mustard seed

Brine

2 qt. vinegar
2 qts. water
1 cup canning or pickling salt

Mix vinegar, water and salt together. Bring to boil and keep at a low boil until all jars are filled.

Fill quart jars with cucumbers, one jalapeno pepper quartered lengthwise, 2 to 3 garlic cloves peeled.

Add pickling spices, mustard seed and 2 heads of dill. Top with one or two fresh grape leaves (can omit if not available).

Ladle or pour boiling brine into filled jars. Immediately seal and turn upside down to cool.

Allow to cure in a cool place for 4 to 6 weeks.

Hey Bob, I got to thinking about your hot dill pickles this morning and wondered if you've ever used them in potato salad? I make my potato salad with some diced dill pickle and wondered if you'd ever tried them in something like that.

We like to use spice here too. My Youngest DD puts cayenne pepper in most savory things she cooks!

Not me. I like potato salad like my mother made which is just eggs, potatoes, celery, salt, pepper, mustard and Miracle Whip.

I did not like my maternal grandmother's potato salad which contained all kinds of extras and was made with her homemade mayonnaise.

In my opinion these pickles are too good and will not last long enough to be concerned about using them in anything else.

If you like your potato salad with pickles in it, good for you, enjoy it and keep making it that way.

It was just a thought...to each his own.

Grandma on my Dad's side was famous for her Potato salad. I understand not wanting to change. One of my Aunts tries to replicate Grandma's recipe but it is not the same thing.

Odd the things we miss when someone is gone...
