 Jalapenos, greenbeans, cukes and garlic are some of my faves!

[Sparkplug]

does anyone else ever drink the juice?

[junya92toy [OP]]

So what are your guys recipes?

[4RunnerChevy]

I use Apple Cider Vinegar, and just buy pickling seasoning (whatever flavor you like).  My personal touch is adding cloves of garlic and red pepper flakes.  Pick your cucumbers wisely.  Lots of warts and really green (yellow is over ripe).  Cut off the blossem end about 1/4" up (reduces bacteria).  Keep everything really clean and follow canning procedures.

i love claussen & juice i drink out of the jar all the time

[4RunnerChevy]

I have been known to sip the juice  

If your pickling cucumbers, its gonna be hard to find good ones in the winter.

What's the difference in taste between regular hard boiled eggs and pickled?

Pickled eggs taste.... well, pickled.  

And they give you gas. Not the good kind, either.... the really, really bad kind.

I want to see some recipes!

6 shots and 4  and I am just about pickled.

 adding a couple fresh grape leaves to the pickle jar b/f canning helps keep things nice n' crisp
