RedRam…
The last several years our Wal-Mart has had the Mis Pickler hybrid pickling cukes… and I have had very good luck with them.
I made near 5 gal of pickles last summer… and still have two half/gal jars left in the fridge.
I ferment mine…real pickles… loaded with probiotics (Lactobacillus) and use garlic and dill for main spices in the ferment… some mustard seed, red pepper flakes, black pepper corns… they are very good.
Below is a youtube vid if you are interested in fermenting…
You should try it if you never have, they are very good, and very good for you.
Nothing fancy about the Mis Pickler… except they make loads of nice pickling cukes in a short time too.
I found them on Gurneys… link below… but you may find them at your local walmart or coop…
