  1. I make mine by soaking in boiling water and salt mixture for 2 hours. No overnight soaking. Best method ever used

  3. Has anyone ever made this without canning the finished project? Would it keep in the fridge for a while? Or would it freeze ok instead?

  6. Up top in the ingredient list it says 3 cups but down in the directions it says 2 cups…, a typo in the recipe?

  7. Did you have to soak the cucumbers over night or just add the boiling water after you peeled and cut them up?

    • I have used zucchini before for mustard pickles. They work just as well. Only drawback was that if I had jars left over and go into a second season, I found the zucchini werent as crisp as cucs would of been the second season, too soft for my lcking

  9. This is the same as my ML’s have been making this for a few years, always a big hit with family and friends make a few batches a year. Yummm

  10. I’ve made two batches already, and they are a hit! The only thing I adapted was that I used only 2cups of sugar. Easy, fast, and yummy!
