We have never had trouble with the trimmed ends so cutting shouldn't hurt. We definitely cover them. Crazyxu85, we have never tried quartering them, but imagine it would work fine.

Also, do you leave them undcovered while fermenting, or should I cover them with a plate? can the pickles be quartered instead of leaving them whole?

There's a slight risk of the vinegar leaching a plasticky flavor into the pickles so we choose glass, but lots of companies sell pickles in plastic. And they do ferment in the fridge, just much slower. Can't wait to hear how they come out! Hi ckron247,

I altered it somewhat to match my tastes, but the process was very helpful. I have just a couple questions... Does it matter if I use plastic containers rather then glass? Will they still ferment if they are kept in the fridge the entire time? Please advise. I am very excited for my first batch to be finished. I found your excellent recipe.

I have had several years of serious illnesses and am so glad to be gardening again( with the help of my grandsons). I have picked the first of my cucumbers but didn't want to wait on the big batch of pickles I used to make. I was soooo thrilled to see, make and eat my first pickles in 4 years. Thank you.

If they are in a very cool place you might not see the bubbles, it's just occurring very slowly and you might have to wait a little longer for good flavor. The vinegar adds sourness anyway, so they just get a more complex flavor from fermenting.

Please advise. Thank you for posting a recipe that doesn't require pounds of cukes - some years we have tons - others we don't but still would like pickles! :) Regards, Kim I made this recipe 2 days ago (altering the spices to what I had on hand) but I don’t see bubbles…I don’t know what the bubbles indicate.

Let us know how they turn out! OK, LA Kings fans, that was certainly not a use we had imagined for this recipe, but you have us intrigued if somewhat perplexed. Let us know how they turn out!
