For those that requested my easy pickle recipe here it is:
This recipe was used my mother and my aunt for may years.

MOM's PICKLES

slice enough cucumbers to make 3 gallons.
1 cup pickling lime (Mrs. Wages) also know as builders lime
Sugar (white)
vinegar white
pickling spices
sterile canning jars

Place sliced cucumbers in large bucket, EX. 5 gallon bucket works best. One cup lime plus enough water to cover the slices.
Let this soak overnight. Next morning rinse/wash slices until
water is clear. Lime will feel gritty on the slices.
Place cucumber slices in large pot, add 1 1/2 cups sugar to each 1 cup of vineger. Do this until covered. Put pickling spices in a cloth bag, an unused knee hose works good.
Let soak 3 hours.
Then bring to a hard boil for 20 minutes. Pack in sterile jars cap and let cool.
I like to cover the hot jars with a dish towel while cooling.

Enjoy
If a you have any questions please let me know.

Is this a sweet pickle My Grandma made a 8 day sweet pickle we always loved those

Thank you! I actually picked my first cucumber today!

Sounds good. You may want to post this in the recipe section too.

Is this "lime" available at grocery stores, or is it "regular" lime you would buy at a building supply store?

Cukes are just starting to come on and I have been wanting to do some pickles for several years but we haven't gotten enough each year to do them. This might be the year and I definitely want to try this recipe. Looks good and not to hard. Thanks for sharing. Sally

Grocery store. I think the name is Mrs. Wages or something like that.
This an easy recipe. I don't do anything that takes days or weeks. I would forget all about it. Maybe due to ADD, then life always has other things to remember.

Sorry if I missed this, but is this a sweet pickle?

Yes it is a sweet pickle. So good and crisp

Thanks! I'll give them a try.
