OTHER INSTRUCTIONS FROM READERS

1. ** I left out the sugar for two reasons, one it cuts down on the carbs and two I like my pickles a little tart.
2. ** I add a teaspoon of celery seed and a tablespoon of mustard seed. I also made a recipe and a half of the vinegar, sugar and salt mixture. I like more liquid in mine.
3.  One thing you need to know, the cucumbers really reduce down once they have sat in the vinegar. I filled jars and processed them in a hot water bath, and when they came out the jars were only half full. I would let the mixture sit in the bowl for at least 2 hours and then fill your jars if you are going to process them. Thanks for the great recipe.
