Grillos Pickles Recipe

by

When I was craving dill pickles a few months ago and couldn’t find any, I found a recipe and tweaked and added and subtracted, until I got them SO CLOSE. Grillo’s are a real favorite but they’re not easy to get here. Walmart has them occasionally. If I can get to Costco, I grab a bucket full.

English cucumbers are always available; if you can find pickling cucumbers, which are difficult to come by, you can use those instead. When I tried this with regular American/US cucumbers, they turned out to be really mushy, so I do not recommend it.

The Dills and Bread & Butter pickles in this photo were both made by me; I’ll share the recipe for the B&B pickles later.
