Yummy. I used the celery seeds but did not have all the other spices so I substituted 2 teasp. pickling spice. They were very crunchy. I sliced the cukes with a food processor and were very thin. Next time I think I will follow others' advice and slice them thicker.

Good. Only used 1/2 cup sugar (it was plenty sweet) and will reduce it more the next time - probably 1/3 cup. I will delete the cloves next time as well.

Very good. I sliced them on the thinner food processor blade since I didn't have but one day before the party, but I think next time I will use the thicker slicer. These get better the longer they "cure" in the fridge. Very refreshing on my salad buffet before high school graduation.

These were really good! Super cruchy and sweet with some tang to it. I left out the cloves, as one of the other reviewers did. Next time I will add minced garlic as another reviewer posted. Thanks for the EASY recipe!!

They are the BEST pickles out there! I didn't put in any cloves but added 1/2 tsp of pickling spice. One tip: I stuffed some old mason jars (2) with the cucumbers and onions, (You can use an empty spaghetti jar) and then poured the liquid inside. Closed the lid tightly and turned the jar upside down so that the top cucumbers would sit in the juice. You can turn the jar back over after the first serving of pickles. A must try if you like a sweet pickle.

I used 2 tsp. of pickling spice instead of the other spices called for, and it came out fantastic! Thanks for the great and easy recipe!

Added 2-3 Tablespoons minced garlic and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to make it a little zesty. Perfect amount to store in a 1 gallon freezer bag in the fridge.
