I never made my own pickles either, but maybe I should give it a shot! Thank you for the recipe 🙂 Yum!
I will have to try these! I made Cinnamon Pickles last year (more like a red hot cinnamon candy pickle). Thanks for sharing.
Really?! That’s a flavor I can’t even imagine but HAVE to try! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
This sounds good. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
There’s nothing like Homemade Pickles.. there’s a special crunch to them that’s hard to replicate. Thanks for this wonderful recipe I can’t wait to try it out.
I have never had luck canning pickles, but with this recipe maybe the “force” will be with me.
Good luck and may the force be with you!
This would be lovely as appetizers for our up and coming wedding! Thankyou for sharing this to us!
