"This is a pickle that I grew up with! They are wonderful crisp white sweet pickles that have a bit of pep to them. They are so easy to make. They go well with almost anything. By cutting them in spears they pack well in the jars. The more traditional way is to cut the across in 1/2" pieces. I say 7 cucumbers but if they are really large you may only need 5"
Original is 8 servings

Step 2
Peel the cucumbers, cut in half long ways and scoop out the seeds
