    Your pickles look great! I was wondering how they got the zig zag look to them (I’ve never seen that tool before!) – thanks for the tips and for the link to the recipe!

      It was really just a happy coincidence that I had this little cutter tool in my drawer. I think that it’s for french fries, actually! But man, it sure did make my pickles look legit!

      I hear you, Lisa! I feel the same way. I’m also a big relish fan – I’m on the hunt for a good relish recipe now.

    I’ve never made bread and butter pickles before, Tara! Yours look absolutely delicious! Now if you want to try a disturbingly delicious sandwich, try peanut butter and dill pickles. 🙂

      Okay… I might have to brace myself before I take a bite of a peanut butter and dill sandwich. But I will try it!

    Yummo, I will keep this for the coming summer, I don’t mind a pickle or two but one of my boys eats them in bulk. Seriously the big massive costco jar in about a week.

      Really!?!? Now THAT’s a pickle fan. I couldn’t do the Costco jar in a week. Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit queasy! 😉

    My husband made me bread and butter pickles last year and didn’t use the serrated cutting thing. It just wasn’t the same.

      Brenna – you’re so right. It needs to be serrated. Your tongue can totally tell the difference, even just by texture.

      (Stocking stuffer idea, perhaps?)

    I had no idea there even was a difference in cucumbers (besides of English and seeded). You have been BUSY this summer growing, harvesting and now canning, jarring and pickling. I hope you enjoy a few cheese and pickle sandwiches with these delicious homemade pickles.

      To be honest, I didn’t know much about the differences in cucumbers until I started growing them. Now it’s pretty easy to tell – the pickling cukes are prickly and are hard to hold. I’m amazed that anyone ever tried to eat one, to be honest!

      I gorged myself on cheese and pickle sandwiches, and now they’re all gone.

      I just need to carve out some more pickling time – these were seriously addictive.

    So good to see you enjoying the bounty of your garden that you were so nervous about in the beginning! I’m a kitchen gadget hoarder too! I love having the right tool for the right job!

      You’re a cucumber-grower as well? They’re just so… prolific, aren’t they? I can’t believe how many cucumbers I have – it’s something else!

    I love it. My mom used to make pickles by the bucket loads every summer when I was young. These were my favourite. I am loving your pickling abilities! I not only have a black thumb, but a wicked accidental streak when I try to make things. Wish I could import you into my kitchen!!

      You’d probably learn a few swear words if I was imported into your kitchen. Things always appear a bit smoother in Bloglandia than they are in real life. I get so nervous when I can/preserve, but this year has been much better in terms of kitchen successes.

      I think that you’d be fun to can with. We could pickle ourselves a bit with some wine at the same time! 😉

          Oh good. I’m glad you like to do at least ONE version of “pickling”! 🙂 Why don’t you live in my neighbourhood, lady!?!?
