Wow! Love this recipe. I had only half of the amount of cucumbers (what was left from my garden) and they were tiny so I think that's why the outer skin shriveled up but they tasted sooooo good!! I ate half of them in one sitting. Besides cutting the recipe in half, I didn't have sweet onions so I didn't use them and I had to substitute the mustard seeds (didn't have those in my spice cabinet) for mustard powder (used same amount as tumeric). I plan on making this again with the larger cucumbers in my fridge. Thanks for the recipe! Super easy and tasty!

I've always sort of like pickles but never loved them. I tried this recipe without the onion. Since I didn't have mustard seed or turmeric, I notice that these two items and vinegar are the main ingredients to mustard so I gave it a few drops of mustard. I also added some nutmeg and cinnamon. I tried the pickles the next day, expecting to toss them, but to my pleasant surprise they were the best pickles I've ever tasted. I keep finding myself going back to the fridge to eat some sweet pickles. This is an awesome recipe.

Great, easy pickles - I added a bit of celery seed and skipped a little of salt as recommended by others :) Yum - Great with a little sweet red pepper cut in rounds as well.

I thought they had a bit too much of a vinegary taste. They were good though. I may have to do some tweeking to fit my tastes more. **Update** I think they tasted too vinegary to me because i actually put them in the pressure canner and let them sit (without it being in the fridge). So I let it sit in the fridge 3 days and the taste is a lot better!! Moves it up to 5 stars

Nice sweet tangy flavor which doesn't cover the flavor of the cukes. I use Baggs Apple Cider Vinegar which tends to be sweeter.

Salty, but yummy and simple. Next time I make these I will cut back on the salt. I also like my pickles a little zesty, so I added a little crushed red pepper. Next time I'll add a bit more.

Thought these were really easy and very tasty. My only suggestion would be to use seedless english cucumbers, my store ran out of them and so I used regular cucumbers. Unfortunately these cukes got limp after sitting in the vinegar but I suspect using seedless would solve this. Definitely will use these again.

I made these pickles for the first time last summer. My family and friends can't wait for my first batch this year! The recipe is simple and the pickles are delicious.

This was my first pickling experience ever and it turned out well. I used the burpless cukes (had an over abundance) and I added 2 tsp. tumeric by mistake, but over all they were really good. The skin is a little tough b/c it's not a pickling cuke, but they are very tasty. They sort of taste like a bread and butter pickle. Will make again next year. With the right cukes this time!

I used a cider vinegar and found the taste to be way to strong for me. I've gota similar recipe that uses white vinegar instead. That one calls for 3 days in the refrigerator but I'm not sure it really makes a difference.

What is nice is that the pickles stay crunchy, as well as taste great! I omitted the onions. Did not have mustard seed, so used half as much mustard powder. Added 1/2 tsp celery seed and 1/2 tsp dill seed. Used English cukes (one = 1 lb). Added 1/2 cup water cuz seemed like not enough liquid to cover, although the pickles did shrink down. Keep in the frig and eat right away! They won't last long! Highly recommend, and no trouble to make.

Altho' I modified the recipe slightly by adding some turmeric and mustard seed for added flavor, the recipe is great! Everyone who has tried them has loved the pickles. Quick & easy...gone almost as fast as they're made.

I never made pickles before and was skeptical about this too easy to be true recipe, HOWEVER...this recipe is unbelievably good. Fabulous, like bread and butter pickles...only better! I made another batch the very next day! 10 stars!

Loved these pickles, and so did everyone at the office. And, they were so easy to make. Perfect for the bumper crop of cukes this year. I used Splenda to cut the calories to zilch, and I didn't have any mustard seeds, so I used some ground mustard - tastes great!! Next time I might try adding a chopped jalapeno to give it a little zing.
