I cut the cukes into slices and used an infuser for the spices (I don't care for all that in my brine). This is an excellent recipe! Will recommend it to others -
Very easy and they really do taste like Claussen's! I used whole baby cucumbers and put everything into a gallon size rubbermaid. Everyone is amazed when they taste them; "You made these?!?" -
This will be my 3rd year using this recipe. I've tried a few others but I like this one the best. You can store the pickles in a cool place for months too.
