These pickles are wonderful! I don't have a bowl big enough for 25 cucumbers and the other veggies, so I put the slices in a cooler, salted them down and covered everything with crushed ice. After the 3 hours, I rinsed everything very well. I also did process the jars in a water bath for 10 minutes. The result was almost too pretty to eat, but the jars flew out of my kitchen and I'm booked for next year to make them again! Thank you, David!

Very very good! I marinated the cukes over night with the ice (like many others suggested) and rinsed salt off before adding them to the brine. I also added whole shallots and they turned out delicious! I will be enjoying these for months to come!

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 made these pickles and my husband can't get enough of them. I did follow other reviewers and cut the sugar to 3 cups, next time I will use 1 1/2 cups because this was a little to sweet for me.I'll also use a cheese cloth bag for the cloves, so they can be removed insted of keeping them in the jar.If you bite into them it will stop you in your tracks.Make sure they are rinsed very well or they will be salty. A great way to use up surplus cubes. Thanks for the recipe.

I made these pickles the other day and got 13 pints out of it. I plan on making more because after my family tasted them they completely wiped me out of all that I had canned. This time I am hiding them....LOL. Thanks, fantastic taste!

1st time canner here. Worked with my daughter and her cousin. Had a great time. Easy to follow directions. We rinsed cucumbers after salt bath very well and doubled the brine. OMG, even the ones I cut too thin were crispy! We will definately be doing this again and using this recipe.

This was the very first time to try my hand at pickles and they turned out fantastic! Thanks to whom ever submitted this recipe. It was very easy for a first timer. I may get more cukes and can more, this batch won't last till next summer. FANTASTIC!!!!!

These pickles turned out well. My family wasn't too fond of the garlic in the pickle. I'll probably try this again without the garlic.

These turned out very good. However, my batch was 7 pints and tripled the brine...too much - a double batch would have been just right. Also, I rinsed VERY thoroughly and the cukes still tasted really salty, but don't worry, they won't when they are done. Very time consuming to make, but worth it.

I get RAVE reviews every time I make these pickles! One note...you are to combine the "juice" from the cuc mixture to the vinegar mixture...that wasn't clearly stated above....still yet a GREAT recipe! I make these every year about this time! I also add about 3 or 4 jap peppers to give it a little zing!

These were very tasty sweet pickles. The recipe produced about five to six pints. I added about two teaspoons of pickling spice and about a quarter cup of horseradish for my version of sweet horseradish pickles (tastes pretty similar to Nathan's brand).

These came out really nice! I added the red peppers for color like suggested. I packed the jars with the veg first then added the liquid but I had to make more since there wasn't enough of the vinegar mix. I also did the water bath canning method (15 mins) just to be safe. I think I'll leave out the turmeric next time since it leaves a sediment at the bottom of the jars..not too pretty. I halved the recipe but made the full recipe of liquid and had to make more. After all of the adjustments I'll be sure to make these again.

These are awesome pickles! I made a bunch to give away to friends and everyone has asked for the recipe. I cut the sugar to 4 cups and was still plenty sweet. And do be sure to rinse them salt and drain. Thanks for sharing!

These pickles have the potential to be good, but they are too salty as the recipe is written. I followed the other reviewers' advice and rinsed mine, but not enough. Make sure you thoroughly rinse them after the salt stage and they should be good.
