You know a perfect pickle when you crunch it. Sugar, mustard seed, and cider vinegar help turn a cool cucumber into something with a little more bite.

These turned out great! I liked that they didn't have dill in them. I just wanted some flavorful pickles but without dill. They turned out nice and crisp too. I didn't find them too salty. I used sea salt so maybe that was why.

Pickles came out very salty. I am going to try the recipe again and rinse the cucumbers before draining one hour. Then I will continue as written.
