This is my Mom's old recipe that I had. Somewhere along the way a different
Word Processor was used and a couple items didn't make the translation. I
looked through my three Ball Books and didn't find any Thousand Island
Pickles, a search on the Internet kept turning up the same recipe that isn't
close to mine. So, I figure maybe it's 1/2 cup salt and the other is just
quote marks.

Any confirmations on my guess or something else?
