The pickles are delicious, but a little sweet for my liking. Can they be made without the sugar?

Also, have you tried canning them? I love having them in the fridge, but thought it might be nice to put some in the basement for later in the year when my garden isn’t full of cucumbers.

BTW– I love your website. I always look forward to your posts. I sort of wish we were neighbors. I’d bring you a batch of homemade kimchi.

Mmmm… pickles. This sounds like a great recipe and I’ve always wanted to try making pickles.

Love the blog. I found it through Kate of all Trades – http://kateofalltrades.blogspot.com

I made your pickle recipe last night. I tried David Lebovitz’s recipe too, and while it’s delicious, I figured there was room for more than one pickle recipe in my arsenal. Afterall, I’ve got 6 kirby plants in the garden and I have to find something to do with all those cucumbers.

Thanks for the recipe. I’ll let you know how things went after the ten(!!!) day waiting period.

I have been disappointed with my pickling attempts before, but I am very, very persuaded to try again!

*Thank you* for posting this! I had been wondering about your method after seeing that photo (especially since it looks like your brine is loaded with garlic). I’m way out in San Francisco, and usually indulge my hometown NYC pickle fetish at Rainbow Grocery, a natural foods co-op that stocks fresh barrels of Gus’ pickles from the Lower East Side. Now I’m going to try making them at home. Yum!
