Making Summer Pickles

If you love authentic dill pickles, there's nothing better or simpler to make than old fashioned deli-style summer pickles.

What is this Plant?

Wandering along the shady east side of the acre today, I came across this in flower. The plant is a sort of leggy vine sort that's been growing there for years, but I've never seen it flower. Anyone know what it is? Update: Thanks to Reddit and /u/ArtsyPhartsyWoman, I figured out that it was a Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)!
