I found this recipe on the ‘net a while back while I was looking for pickle recipes. During the summer, I had lemon cucumbers coming out my ears. And Uncle Pasto’s ears. And anyone who stepped in the house’s ears. For future reference: you only need one<\/em> lemon cucumber plant for a family of two. No more than one. Trust me. (; We meant to only buy one, but we somehow managed to get two …<\/p>\n

Anyway! So I made these pickles in the summertime, and hadn’t had an excuse to open them yet, because we were eating dill<\/em> pickles that I made out of the same cucumbers. Since my cousins were throwing a Christmas party, I decided to pop open a jar and bring them. They went over so well that everyone asked for the recipe! ^_^; I am so flattered!<\/p>\n

Here is the recipe, with my notes. Unfortunately, I no longer have a link to the original, but as I recall, it was a recipe that someone found in a French magazine.<\/p>\n

French Vanilla Pickles<\/h1>\n

This recipe makes a lot of brine. I put up three quarts and could easily have put up double that amount with the amount of brine it makes. I had two full quart jars of brine left over when I was done. You may wish to cut it in half when you make it, depending on how many cucumbers you have. I am sure this would work fine with any type of pickling cucumber, if you don’t have access to lemon cucumbers.<\/p>\n
