Making your own pickles is a win/win. Not only can you use up summer cucumbers while they're at their best, you get the awesome feeling of making them from scratch.

  1. ShannonR REVIEW:

    Great recipe. Just for clarification: Is the celery salt required as a preserving agent or is it for flavoring?
