These quick pickles are good with burgers, grilled chicken, deli sandwiches, or hot dogs. Any sturdy glass jar (new or reused) works well for brining. Always clean and dry the jars before using.

Love these pickles. But how do I find the video of Sarah making them? It's difficult to find stuff on your site now. Can you include a link to the video from the recipe page?

YUM! Our generous neighbors brought me cucumbers from their garden and I made "MS fast homemade pickles". I don't think I will buy pickles again. I think we will be growing our own cuc's next year!
