Lemon cucumber pickles

[HunkieDorie23]

Has anyone ever pickled a lemon cucumber? I got some lemon cucumber seeds in a grab bag purchase and have started some of the seed. I watch some youtube videos and they said they are really good cucumbers but that they don't keep well. I was just wondering if you could pickle them.

Don't know, either. Hi 'Dorie !

But, I want to say that I'm only into the 2nd quart of your pickle recipe! Those refrigerator pickles sure have kept well. I did know that more than 3 quarts would be beyond my limits on pickle consumption . These are great and the last quart should last until summer.

Now about those lemon cukes - I've grown them for several years. My idea on harvest is to get them before they change to yellow. If the picklers are waiting until they look like lemons, I bet that it effects their shelflife.

The lemon cukes are well worth growing for fresh use.

You can use regular salt but it has other minerals in it and may look a little different in color. They taste ok though, I have used it before in a pinch.

Your recipe should be made into a sticky. Which brings up question @Nifty why are there no sticky for TEG ?
