Great idea! I'll look for that. My most recent batch turned out mushy
like you mentioned below. Tasted great, but very mushy. My too-sweet
significant other said that he saw nothing wrong with that, who said
they had to be just like everyone else's... Very kind of him!!

this to say:

I've made my own pickles severals times and they either turned out mushy or
tasting like gasoline.But I did eventually make an outstanding batch of
Bread and Butter and the recipe I used came off the back off the can of the
pickeling lime I used.Don't laugh but the brand was Astor which is Winn
Dixies in store brand.

Hi all,

We've got an overabundance of cukes this year, and so I've been trying
various pickle recipes. I haven't found one we **really** like yet, so
I was hoping maybe someone out there has a favorite recipe they'd like
to share...?!

I'm especially interested in the following types: bread & butter,
sweet, and dill.

Also, if anyone has a recipe for pickled watermelon rind, I'd be
ever-so-grateful. Our great grandmother used to make it, but no one
ever thought to write down her recipe.

And yep, I did google pickle recipes, but there are soooo many out
there - and with variable results. I'd prefer a "tried and true"
recipe.

TIA!
Lisa
