Mae - I just wanted to thank you for sharing this recipe. My first time making pickles period was 2 weeks ago. I gave them to a few friends and family and I have now made 3 batches in 2 weeks. The taste is better than any store bought pickle and they are soooooo easy to make. I am definitely going to be making more to give as Christmas gifts.

Just opened my first batch of these B&B pickles. I picked this recipe because it seemed to be easy. It was simple and the taste is better than any B&B I have ever had(homemade & store bought).
