    You live in a hot dry place, right? If they aren't grown locally, maybe go talk to the produce manager at your local grocery store about ordering you a case. The farmers market wholesale price right now is $23 in my neck of the woods, down from $32 in late April.

      I just saw these at the store tonight. What is a bread and butter pickle?

        A sugar-added pickle that is sweet like relish.

          I went to the local farmers market today and talked to one of the local growers. She had a few on her table and I picked up a couple lbs. of them, but she said in about 2 weeks, she will be swimming in them. She gave me her contact info and said to call her the day before I want them with the quantity and size I want and she would have them waiting for me at her store.

          On a side note, there was a vendor selling what she called "Indian Pickles" which were sweet and spicy. They were great but she wanted $26.00 for a large jar!

              I'm going to have to try this recipe. I know you said this wouldn't work with salad cucumbers, but is this true even if the salad cucumbers were not allowed to grow to their usual size?

              Also, have you tried pickling other veggies? I have carrots, and peppers (jalapenos, anaheims, bell) I would like to pickle as well. I need to get my hands on a good recipe for those.

                I got two BUSHELS of pickling cukes yesterday at the Columbia Farmers Market for $20 total. Tonight, I shall be making pickles.

                I can't say about salad cucumbers, but they won't be as crisp. As to other veggies, that's in the cards for tomorrow if I can get some other projects done tonight.

                  wuap, I'm going to give this a try. I've got 5 Liberty cucumber plants in my garden and they are starting to produce. Can't wait. I'll let you know how it turns out after I'm able to make some of your pickles.

                    Here is my first canning effort. We'll see how they turned out in a few weeks!

                      The pickles turned out pretty good. Nice and crisp, heavy on the garlic flavor. My family really likes them. Thanks Waup!

                          Hey wuap, do you make/like red cinnamon pickles or green pickles? (I can't remember what was in the green, but I think they were along the same lines.) My grandma used to make pickles all summer long but stuck to the red and green ones mainly, often making the red using red hot hearts purchased at Valentine's. My other grandma made spicy pickles and I wasn't a fan of those, but I could eat the red ones all day long.

                          My wife doesn't like pickles and my older daughter isn't a fan either, so I don't foresee us getting into pickling anytime soon. I might have to show up on your doorstep with a jar one day.
                          I have nothing else to say at this time.

                            I'm going to can these. Should I put in less garlic?

                              Not sure. This was my first foray into canning. If you dont like garlic, i'd assume you could use less.

                                I'm glad yall like them. If you don't use freshly peeled garlic, the garlic punch isn't quite as strong. But, I like the garlic. I'll even make a few just-for-papi jars with 10 cloves in them. The pickles are almost spicy from the garlic burn.

                                I'm confident that you'll enjoy them as much as you like Dayton during the holidays.

                                I've never tried them, but, generally, I'm not a fan of sweet pickles. However, I'm intrigued by a cinnamon flavor. And, I have seen these before; somewhere in my vague memories of the 1970's, I can see them in someone's cabinet.

                                It all depends on the type of garlic you use. If you buy real garlic and peel it yourself vs. pre-peeled, it will change the flavor significantly. However, Costco's pre-peeled garlic is pretty damned potent.
