OMG, they sound and look SO good! Do you have to be a canner to make these? I have never canned anything before and don't know how to seal a jar. Maybe I'll go YouTube it!
You have cucumbers in February!?!?!? This post made me long for summer and hungry for its flavors.
I'm all puckered up looking at this recipe! Love pickles! Hubby and I have made loads of different kinds and they don't last long.
Would love me some spicy Cajun pickles Great recipe, sha! Thanks for sharing!
Cajun pickles! Now THAT sounds yummy!
Marilyn, I don't know nuffin 'bout bein' no canner! All I did to sterilize the jars was to boil them in water first. :) Then put the lids on and tighten them up. Quick....easy....yummy!
Deb - We have farmers markets and little outlets called Fresh Pickins all year round here. I bet this recipe would work almost as well with regular cucumbers.
Donna - Lemme know if you (well, not you per se, but your hubby) tries 'em. LOL
Marguerite - Any time sha. I get some great looking recipes over at your place all da time!
They really are L.T. Try it. :D
pickles & myself will probably never be friends, sorry :)
Ooooo, I'm gonna try that one. I love pickles, and cajun, too! :)
I'm glad they turned out for you! LOL My stepdad tried making pickles when I was a kid. I don't know what went wrong, but something did because he didn't end up with anything too picklish. LOL
My dear Angie, I read this post and all I could think about was the Andy Griffith Show episode where Aunt Bee makes a batch of "kerosene" pickles. I'm glad yours turned out more like Ms. Clara's which took first prize at the fair -- did you go just wild with allspice? :-)
Those sound really good! Thanks for the recipe. Hope you're having a good one.
You got a whopping big dose of domesticity that day, didn't you? I've never made pickles. I love pickles. Maybe I need to try!
This looks good. Until the jars start popping late at night. Have been reading, just not commenting.

fresh pickles.....yummy!!!
Huh - I always assumed you had to pickle things for a much longer time period. 24 hours? Maybe I'll try to make me some pickles!
My grandmother used to make these. I haven't been able to can anything with the lids on right...but have decided your recipe looks like crunchy fun Now.
