We are just finishing up making a third batch of pickles using your wonderful recipe. These pickles are sooo good! We have already shared them with friends and family and everyone loves them. We planted straight eights this year and our yield has been great. Thanks for sharing a wonderful B&B pickle recipe. We will never use another!
