Glad you are still enjoying them. A little truly goes a long way for normal people but I know a few people that eat that stuff by the spoon full.
I sent you an email last year, possibly to a defunct address, telling you that I followed the recipe you sent me for the b&b pickles. I put up about 50 quarts and gave away most of them to friends and relatives, they were a big hit.
I’ll probably make about the same this year.
My cukes were the best last year, can’t say the same about tomatoes. I think we had an excess of rain.
I remember that email and I thought I had responded ... I certainly had intended on doing so. I'm so glad that the pickles were popular.
I've done two things with that recipe that have improved the results somewhat. I started crinkle-cutting the cukes on my mandoline slicer and I began using exclusively the turmeric and mustard seeds from Penzey's, which BTW is MUCH cheaper than buying the brands in the stores. In addition to the yellow mustard seed, I also add a few brown mustard seed which have a little heat to them. Adds a good flavor, but I don't add enough to make them hot.
