Thanks - sounds great. I'm going to try it, but I have a question:

The recipe says "ground" mustard. Does this mean the dry mustard powder or the regular spreading mustard in a jar that is made by grinding mustard seeds? Just want to be sure I use the right thing!

som 07-05-2010 06:58 PM

yes dry mustard powder

Sounds like something else the hubby would like :lol:
Thanks a bunch!

Beacause they have to remain cold, you can't can them and eat next December, right? Just checking it is late here and I am very tired but too hot to sleep..

Carol's Quilts 07-09-2010 05:31 AM

Som,

I have another question. I looked at the store-bought bread and butter pickles I have in the fridge, and the slices are only about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, which means they came from snall cucumbers. Did you use "pickling cucumbers" from the grocery (only 2 of them?) or did you use regular-size cucumbers, seeds and all?

Thanks,
Carol

I had some bigger cukes left they were too big for dill pickles. I sliced them and made that brine and poured over the cukes and onions. I keep them in a plastic container in the fridge....been there since September....Still as good as can be. GREAT RECIPE

Carol's Quilts 12-17-2010 02:17 PM

So sorry - I forgot to reply!

Yes, I made them and you are so right! They are nice and crunchy, the sweet/sour balance is right one, and they really are very good. Thanks for the great recipe!

I use this recipe when I run out of my normal " canned" pickles.. I love these, thanks for sharing!

Pickles 12-17-2010 11:00 PM

I have always used this same recipe except I don't microwave
them I just let them set in the fridge for 7 days before eating them and I always peeled mine , the family loves them.
I think I'll try it your way and see if it is any better without the wait time.Thanks for the recipe :-D :thumbup:

blueangel 10-02-2011 09:34 PM

Thank you

ncredbird 04-08-2012 04:41 PM

Do you just microwave the brine ingredients and pour over the cucumbers or microwave the cucumbers with the brine? Thanks, Ann in TN

romanojg 04-09-2012 07:01 AM

You can also use green or yellow squash instead of cucumbers and it'll taste just like pickles. This works great when your garden gives you more squash than you know what to do with.

I just happen to have 2 cucumbers my daughter left here over the weekend so I will give this a try.
Thanks for posting this recipe.
