I add banana peppers. Also if I have an abundace of zucchini and yellow summer squash I will use those in place of the cucumbers.

My mother and I made this recipe for the first time last year. We Loved It! It did not last long, so this year we doubled the batch. This is a keeper.

I have a similar recipe so I have not tasted this one. But I have a friend who uses thin sliced zucchini in place of cucumbers. No one knew they were not cucumbers. Another way to use up tons of zucchini.

These are excellent. I rinsed mine quite a few times to get the salty taste out of the cucumbers. This is definitely my new recipe for pickles!
