I read thru the reviews before I started and altered the recipe just a bit. This was my first attempt at making pickles and I must say " This recipe is SO EASY and DELICIOUS" I did rinse the veggies after sitting in the salt, and I did cut the sugar in half. The only other thing I did differently (only because I was out of whole cloves)is that I used allspice in place of the cloves. I have had rave reviews for these pickles, even from friends who claimed not to like pickles! Looking forward to growing twice as many cukes next year, just so I can make these.

I was nominated to make a cake for a co-workers birthday, after much research, I chose a carrot cake with this frosting. It was a hit!! Perfect texture and taste. It was not "sicky" sweet like some frostings. I will use it again.
