I know I'm a day late and a dollar short on your post but maybe try this one next year. Freezer pickles may sound strange but these truly have become my favorite pickle recipe. Sweet and spicy and no canning necessary. I just freeze them in canning jars. I can eat an entire jar by myself of these. They are very addicting.
Hot and Sweet Freezer Pickles

Prep Time: 0 hr 0 min | Cook Time: 0 hr 0 min | Servings: 1 serving | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

3-1/2 cups thinly sliced pickling cucumbers (about 1 pound)

1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings

2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and sliced

3 large garlic cloves, pressed

1 tablespoon salt

1 cup sugar

1 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoons water




Directions:

Combine first five ingredients in large bowl.

Cook 1 cup sugar, 1 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour mixture over cucumber mixture. Cover and chill 48 hours.

Spoon evenly into 6 half pint or 3 pint canning jars or freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch of room at the top; seal, label, and freeze pickles 8 hours or up to 6 months. Thaw in refrigerator before serving; use thawed pickles within one week.

Surprised no one suggested Dinosaur Pickles as suggested on TVWBB. I've had them the next day and they are wonderful.

I think I'll have to try those Len. If I can't find pickling cukes I suppose I could just chop regular ones into 2-3" sections? (I bot that book on Jeff's rec)

I have not made these myself but tried some a co-workers wife made and they are very good.

I see in Bears link that they cut the end (doesn't say stem or flower) to prevent mushiness. Bicks doesnt do that and they're always crispy. So I don't know how valid that tip is.

Yes, into whatever size you want.

And if you like store-bought version, just save the brine, stick your unpickled cukes in it, refrigerate for 2-3 weeks. Then eat.
