As others have already suggested, these pickles are the beez-kneez and the pickle that stands the test of time. How glorious this treat of a cucumber this is! I followed this exactly, except cut my cuke's in 1/4 inch slices. All other ingredients and directions stayed the same. I can't wait, I even snuck one tonight~and it tasted oh so good! Made for "Summer" on the "Farm" and all the goodness your recipes bring. July 2009

These pickles are the closest thing to my grandma's I've ever tasted. Who knew it was so very easy! Mine have been in the fridge about 10 days and they could be stronger. Next batch I'm going to bump up the salt, peppercorns and garlic, but I like a really strong pickle.

MMMMM...Drool...MMMMM. These were so good. I made them in quart jars, and adjusted the amount of garlic and dill in each, and decided the perfect amount was about 1/3C of dill and 1/4C of garlic (per half recipe). I also quarted the pickles to make them into spears so they would absorb more of the brine. So good, they were gone within three days of opening. I will not buy pickles as long as I have fresh cukes on hand! For my second batch I plan on reusing the brine left in the jars and just reboiling it (since it's already infused with the garlic and dill). Thanks as usual Kitten!

Well, I just made these pickles up a few days ago and they're all nearly gone. We are pickle lovers here and these were great. Easy recipe. I had never made my own pickles before but nothing can stop me now. Used Kitten's pickling spice as well in this recipe and it was really good.

Day 6 of using recipe...Couldn't stand opening frig one more time with out looking at my pickles....So beautiful in the 1/2 gallon jars. Gave in to temptation! Brunch...1, 2, 3, pickles! I could eat the whole jar! These are the ultimate best in the world! Thank you for the recipe! I'm a pickleaholic and the store bought make my ankles swell. Our old time family recipe was good, but too much salt and little crunch. I have tried many a recipe through out the years and they didn't make my palette happy...Thank you for sharing!... p.s. Have tried several of your recipes, most excellent. Made my world stop to say thanks for all. Will try to be more 'dill-e-gent' in the future...

Here is another great recipe by Kittencal! Wonderful taste, crunch, dill & garlic flavor. I am already on my second batch of these. Thanks for doing it again Kitten! This one's a keeper!

YUM!! I messed up and didn't let the brine cool before pouring over cucumbers... but it didn't hurt them at all! They are so crunchy and good!! I'm a pickle snob (very picky) and I love these! Thanks for the easy, tasty recipe! Update: I'm finally coming to the end of that first batch that I reviewed almost 2 months ago. They are still crunchy and tasty... they taste very close to Claussens only better... crunchier! And the garlic flavor is awesome!

I like these pickles and they were very easy to make but I think they're missing something as far as my taste buds are concerned. Maybe I like more vinegar or perhaps I should add some pickling spice. Either way, I love the ease of this recipe and since I made a double batch, I've got three unopened jars that I can experiment with till I get them to the flavor I'm looking for. Thanks for making my first batch of pickles an enjoyable one : ) UPDATE: I added 2 T more vinegar to each jar and these are just about perfect! Just need to cut back on the garlic a little next year.

A great garlicky dill pickle with a nice crunch. I halved the recipe, and added just a little more vinegar. Tasted them yesterday, and made my second batch today so we'll have more when the first ones are gone--if they last 7 days!
