Germin8's Thoughts
By germin8 “Careful when you open a jar of these--the only way to stop eating them is to finish the jar.” – McNeill
When I took a bite of these cucumbers, I couldn’t believe how good they were.
I especially like this pickle recipe because it does not use vinegar, an amylase (enzyme) inhibitor, although apple cider vinegar has its benefits. Fresh dill can be used.
As with any recipe that uses lemons, make sure the lemons taste ‘right’ or taste good. Lemons can make or break a recipe.
I put 8 cucumbers, but it could take more or less. It's as many as you can fit in a 1 quart jar and still be able to shake.

hkittykitty, Maybe the lemon juice does the work of the vinegar?

All4Raw - There you are! I posted some info. for you on your low estrogen/high thyroid topic, but it took me a long time and I didn't know if you'd get it.
I may have to try this by slicing regular cucumbers, because it sounds soooooo good, and I can't get the pickling cucumbers! Yummy :)

McNeill's Mom's Lemon Dill Pickles
These are so delicious and very easy and cheap to make. I am addicted! They are much better than store bought pickles.

lichenglows , good question. I made the pickles at room temperature. But, a friend of mine made a similar recipe (Refrigerator Cucumbers) and she put them in the fridge. I recommend the fridge.

Do you leave them in a cabinet, in the sun, or in the refrigerator, and for a certain amount of time before eating?

Yes, a couple sprigs of fresh dill should work.

You can do the same thing with vinegar, and add slices of fresh garlic for a more "Bubbe's" or traditional-style pickle. I definitely prefer using English cucumbers to regular ones when the pickling variety isn't available, though. The toughness of the skin of the regular garden cucumbers doesn't soften much in the pickling process.
I recently made some sweet pickle relish for the Zoom Burgers that I took on vacation with me. It was delicious! I'll post the recipe tomorrow when I can take some photos to go with it!

Bubbe's are not raw! I love them too, so garlicky and goooood. But I called the company and they said they heat them. :-(

OMG. I luv pickles. Bubbe's raw one's were getting to be an expensive habit. Thx!
