back to the freezer- need to sample more..........
probably just me, first time to sample, probably overanalyzed them. Let you know tomorrow.
I thought they were absolutely easy to make- simple recipe, simple storage, probably is just me. now I need to thaw some more, I'm hungry for pickles.

Papa always used the home grown vadalia's, but he'd say the ones he grew were never as sweet as the ones grown in vadalia county, which is in Georgia I think. I don't like onions, so I just grit my teeth when I put them in, so let me know how they turn out babeegirl.
Sandpat said her batch were only in the freezer for 24 hours. So anything after that "hard freeze" should be okay.
You're exactly right beachlady the waxed cukes are no good as the wax does odd things to the pickles and you can't just peal the skins off and go without - that will get you mushy pickles. (trust me I did it once)

I don't like ice cream! give me a good pickle any day. At least my cukes are free- sort of- they're from the garden. I think I've canned about 60 or 70 pints so far and about 10 quarts. I use my gram's dill pickle recipe and 1 bread and butter recipe from Ball (canning jar company).

No you can't wash it off. Have you ever tired to wash a cuke before you peal it for the salad or the like? The water beads up because of the wax, and when you handle them at the store your hands start to feel funny, that's a little of the wax rubbing off.
I have eaten pickles and ice cream, but it's always first one and then "oh doesn't that sound good" and gone for the other. Never did it when I was pregnant though. I think it has to do with the "sweet" tastebuds and the "salty" tastebuds.
