Well, well, well. That's a picture from my flickr account. Those are my pickles! But that's not my recipe.

Hi Lucy and Pickle Gang...
I hate to task this silly question, but I don't think I understand what "Hot House" cucumbers are... Let me take a stab.

Are they pickling cucumbers (small, sweet tasting, no problem ever with the seeds but they have few seeds).

Are they English cucumbers which I think may be called Hot House cucumbers? These are very long, you can eat the skin and the seeds which never make you ill either. They're about $2.00 each, and are very long - equalling about two regular cucumbers with waxed skin you can't eat).

I'd love to try your recipe, I love pickles too and I'd like to try making my own "refrigerator" types. Like one of the posters above, I love NY Deli 1/2 sour pickles and can hardly find then here in Dallas.

Thanks for the clarification.
