They are much better if left in the fridge for 5 or 6 days before eating ! SOooooooo Simple - No way to screw these up ! Def make them again -- and again --

I thought these pickles were great! I made these twice and love them. I would really like to get them to keep longer, can you process these and put them up without refrigerating? If so, how? Thanks!

I added 1/2 tsp tumeric, 1 tbs mustard seed and 1 tsp celery seed and these were GREAT! everyone loved them and no left overs to haul home... great 1st timers recipe. this ole tymer loved them....SMILE

I HATE sweet pickles! But I love dill pickles, and am a fan of cucumbers and anything vinegary. After reading some reviews, I also decided to cut the sugar in half due to my dislike of sweet pickles. There ended up being just a hint of sweetness, but it is overpowered by the vinegar. A perfect combination! I also added some mustard seed, celery salt, and dill weed. I can't even wait for these to fully cool, I'm eating them already. Thanks for posting this pathetically easy recipe!!!

I added a tsp of dill seeds and didnt use the peppers. We LOVE these! My 9 year old eats these every night. We plans to make more soon so we dont run out,

These were ok if you like sweet pickles. I tripled the liquid and only did 2 cups of sugar... it was still way toooo sweet. Next time I think I will cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup even with the other liquid still tripled. I used regular cucumbers and did some spears and some chips. Some I took the skins off and some I left on. I think I like the skins on because they seemed a little crunchier. I think I will add some fresh dill weed and a pepper next time for a little change.

Just like my Grandma used to make! Thank you so much for the recipe, I never got the chance to get them from her, but these taste just right!

Sweet, tasty and easy to make. My one year old couldn't get enough. I peeled the cucumbers but only because the ones from my garden had tough skins this year.

this rescipe is very easy, we had planted pickling cucumbers this year, and the kids picked them and sliced them and we made these pickles. They are ready to eat the next day. I gave a jar to someone at work, who said her and her husband ate the whole jar at once.

I just made these for the second time and both times they are outstanding! This is a very variable recipe. This time I used a combination of red wine vinegar and white balsamic vinegar and reduced the sugar by half. I used sweet red, yellow and orange bell peppers minced finely, and I used diced red onions--the colors are so pretty in the jars. For seasoning I added to the boiling vinegars, sugar, peppers and onion: Herbs de Provence, garlic slivers, ginger puree, whole cloves and peppercorns. The aroma was very zingy and the flavor yum as can be. Thanks for a great recipe!

These are so easy to make and very delicious!!! Great on Hamburgers too!

Wonderful! Thank you for the recipe. I made several different jars, one with jalapeno peppers and red chili flakes in it, another with balsomic vinegar. I too left out sugar. Thank you so much for this recipe!

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY. These Pickles are fantastic. I took the advise of other posters and put some celery seeds and garlic powder since i had to cloves. This is the first time i ever tried to make pickles, and boy i was surprised how many they make, almost like the cucumbers are multipling. WOnderful recipe will make again!

Ok, I made these and they were easy and look totally fantastic....but the garlic slices I put in there turned BLUE after 3 days in the fridge. What happened? TheStaff@Allrecipes Note: The acidity of the vinegar turned the garlic blue. Garlic contains anthocyanins that turn blue or purple in an acid solution (the pickle juice). It is ok to eat the pickles. ~~~~~~~ I finally tried these and changed my rating to 1 star. I'd give zero if I could. These were INEDIBLE.

These are very good! I too added celery seed & ground mustard. I also added some thick slices of garlic & in part of the batch, I added chopped jalapenos to add some heat. I took MICHELLE_MANDELL's suggestion to let them sit in the solution for a couple of hours until the cukes are reduced...thanks! And thansk to Diane for a wonderful recipe.
