"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
We did this recipe as our first attempt at pickles and we ended up having to make a lot of brine to use up all the cucumbers that we had. Grandma Sauter also suggested next time to skip the water bath and they might be even more crispy.
