Refrigerator Pickles

When you plant almost 35 cucumber plants you get a lot of cucumbers!  Especially when about half the plants are Poona Kheera cucumbers.  I heard good things about this Indian variety and it turned out to be true.  These plants are prolific!  I also have white cucumbers and green cucumbers.  I had only about 4 plants of the green and they have produced well, but nothing like the other two varieties.

So besides cucumber salad, cucumber soup, and cucumbers eaten like apples, I decided we needed pickles!  I found a recipe for refrigerator dill pickles.  YUMMY!  So easy, too. The recipe was for just one jar but I made 4 jars--quart jars of pickle spears.  Why did I never make my own pickles before?
