These were really good and really easy to make. I like my pickles a bit saltier so added just a little bit more salt than indicated. I've made these twice and a teaspoon more of salt is too little and a tablespoon more is too much--so 2 more teaspoons is what I'll be adding when I make them again.

Excellent. I wish more people realized what a pickle should taste like. I like mine crisp so I ate the whole jar after 3 days and now have to search for more pickling cucumbers.

Yum! I've been testing many different pickle recipes and this is by far my favorite. Even my 18 month old agrees. Thanks!!
