"This is my brother's recipe! You can add or decrease the amount of garlic depending on your taste. They are great! In my original post I didn't state to use a gallon jar... I think that is why 2 reviewers said they were to salty! Sorry!!!"

I have no idea what I did wrong last time as these turned out very well this time. I did use much larger cucumbers rather than the small Kirbys I used the last time. I added 6 cloves of garlic as well as a large dill blossom along with extra sprigs of dill. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

In a gallon jar! THAT'S what I did wrong, or else I just missed it. I used a quart jar. Now I can't wait until next years cukes come. I will be trying this again. I'm sure they will come out better. I apologize for my previous review as I obviously didn't follow directions.

I have tried every pickle recipe on this site and none are easier or better tasting. I have varied the recipe with hot peppers instead of dill and pickling spices and both get rave reviews. The best pickle recipe ever!
