"These pickles are some of the best I have ever eaten. They're so good and easy to make that you'll want to keep them on hand all the time. My in-laws send over produce just so I'll make more!" —Loy Jones Anniston, Alabama

The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is that it is a bit too sweet for me. I think the next time I will cut the sugar down by half. Otherwise, this is a very simple way to enjoy cucumbers!

These were ok. Something seemed to be missing flavor-wise compared to the other pickle recipes I make. I will say it is a great, fast way to use up my overabundant summer squash supply.

Made these the last few summers. Very good. I also canned them this year for latter.

Not sure how long they last, we usually run out before they go bad - lol. I have never tried freezing them...

Very good. The whole family loved them. Sharing recipe with my sister-in-law who has way too many yellow squash!!!

My husband made this recipe without the yellow squash (did'nt have any on hand). It was the best! He has fresh jalopenos brewing now. Mix it up with whatever veggie you want!

I love this simple and delicious recipe. I omitted the squash and doubled the cukes so my kids would eat it. It reminds me of the cucumbers my grandma made when I was a little girl! I remember her carefully canning them. It was my job to carry them downstairs to the cupboard after they were cool. Ahh, memories!

RE: Refrigerator Pickles:

How long do they last in the refrigerator? Can they be frozen?
