These are really good and I can't keep my hands off of them! I made half a batch (smaller volume much easier to handle), left out the garlic, and poured the boiling brine over the cucumber mixture (instead of visa versa). Yummy!

These pickles were really good and had a good flavor. This was the first time I made pickles. I cut this recipe down to 10 servings. My pickles were not as crisp as I would like them, but I used the big cucumbers. Next time, I think I'll use smaller cucumbers. I will be using this recipe again.

My family gave these pickles a big thumbs up. They like the way the pickles are so crunchy. Very easy to make and taste great!

I made these today for my mother-in-law. I don't really care for bread and butter pickles but after trying these I can say I would actually eat these ones. They stayed crisp even after boiling and processing. I had soaked them in ice water over night. I also didn't have any celery seed or enough mustard seed and they still turned out well. I had my neighbor try them since I wasn't sure what they should taste like and she said they were very good. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will definately make lots more of these.

The combination of spices make a great tasting pickle but when it says use a large bowl they should have said a tub...I used three large bowls and then poured it all into a tub to mix the cukes with the salt. I also covered the salted cukes with ice and a loose cover (I think the ice gives the pickles a little more crispness)
