One of my favorite things to make in the canning season is pickles. Not sure why, but I love it. I've never come across a store bought pickle that tastes as good. Unless you make kerosene pickles like Aunt Bea :)
The method that I have found to work best for me is to use Mrs. Wages mixes. Thankfully, the bent-n-dent store had a bunch of them for .50 ea. Yep, I bought every single one!! I was getting concerned that maybe I wouldn't have enough when it came time make the pickles. Pulled out all the packages and learned I had enough for 65 quarts of pickles. I think I'm safe for this year at least :P

Our 1st big picking. Don't look like many but they added up to 9 pints. YEAH!!
Simple tools of the process.
Don't ya just love progress :)
Those cukes will never be the same.
The result - crispy, crunchy, bread & butter pickles. YUM!
Interesting little note - I don't remember all the details but I was reminded today of when I was a little girl in Greene County PA. My mom and dad always had several large gardens and one year the local paper must of caught wind of mom's pickle making. She still has the pictured article of her pickles :)
Blessings to ya!
