When a friend dropped off 5 lbs of pickling cukes the other day I knew I wanted refrigerator pickles. I have tried other recipes in the past....this is the best! I will definately be making these again. Thank you for sharing. I am so happy I found this site. When a friend dropped off 5 lbs of pickling cukes the other day I knew I wanted refrigerator pickles.

Thank you. It should be against the law for only two people left at home to have as many cukes as our downsized garden is producing:) I came in search of cuke ideas. Thank you.

When the pickling cukes are ready, I pull them out and they are as good as the day I picked them.

However, you could easily substitute regular size cucumbers for this recipe if you slice them or cut them in quarters. The pickling cucumbers (especially the smaller ones) are often used whole, but for the best results a regular size cucumber should be cut into smaller pieces so the pickling spices and vinegar solution could saturate all of the cucumber flesh.

In other words, if you let a pickling cucumber grow, it becomes a regular sized cucumber. Is this right?

There was nothing quite like 'em. We have some extra cukes from our garden this year, so maybe I can convince the wife to help me make up a batch from your recipe! Thanks for sharing it.

I think unless you are growing dill in your garden or perhaps have access to a farmer's market or specialty store they would be hard to find... or at least they would be hard to find in any of the stores around here! When I make these pickles, I use the dried dill seeds and they work just fine. A dill head is the flowering (seed) part of the dill plant.
