We never rinsed them, I just put them in a colander and press them into it. I never noticed them being salty. More like a salad crisp with a sweet.
Everytime I've made them the salt is completely "dissolved" into the moisture of the cukes. Did you let them sit the entire 2 hours?
Also if you used the celery salt at the end, that would add a salt flavor to it.
They are different than what you would have at the store. Sorry you're disappointed...

I would wait at least 48 hours - I think Elizabeth said the longer frozen the better they taste!!
Bev - the recipe is on the first page - all you need is cukes (I used pickling), vinegar and sugar, and salt. And onions.
Oh another thing - I thnk the cukes can not be waxed - remember reading that somewhere. So go to your local farm stand.
