BEST EVER SWEET PICKLES
I pack away homegrown cucumbers every summer. This recipe is based on the pickled veggies in Brown Eggs and Jam Jars by Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, but I've made it less mustardy and more garlicky to fit my family's tastes. This method keeps them incredibly, refreshingly crunchy. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Taste of Home Digital Deputy Editor

SWEET GHERKIN PICKLES
Whew! This one requires some organization & patience what with 4 days of soaking & repeated soakings but I am intrigued by the unusual spice mix as well as the dainty presentation these should make. The recipe is from the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning was created by Utah State University Extension and reviewed by Charlotte Brennand, Extension Food and Nutrition Specialist at Utah State University, July 1995.) I include the link because this is a wonderful review of safe canning principle and practice as recommended by the USDA & it has the method of low temperature pasteurization that this recipe can be safely processed using to make a better textured final gherkin. Yum! http://www.arizonafreepress.com/survival/canning/utah_can_guide_06.pdf

PICKLED GHERKINS RECIPE -QUICK AND EASY
Basic pickling recipe for gherkins.. no soaking required. We like our pickles to have a bit of kick so we add basic pickling spice to the vinegar because it already has dried chili in it.. however you can use any combination of celery seed, fennel, black pepper etc. These are not crisp pickles.. they take the flavour well, hold their green colour and you can make a small trial batch with these quantities to see if you like them or not. Because I pick the gherkins from my garden daily, I just packed the gherkins into my jars before I started so I could estimate how much vinegar would be required for the finished product. This recipe is so quick you can just pick from the garden and pickle the same day. You can eat them when cold ( keep opened jars in fridge). I found this recipe on the cookitsimply.com website and fiddled wih it
