Cuke crop is coming in pretty good and Miz Anne and I have a hunger for
some hamburger dill pickles. So Easy and the Big Ball Book don't seem to
have any recipes except for whole pickles. Anyone have a good, tried and
true recipe for sliced dill pickles.

Another question: Anyone ever use Ball's Pickle Crisp? I might be able
to find it locally and it is supposedly quicker and less messy than my
tried and true method of liming cukes and tomatoes.

I've got the lime and the pickling salt ready, got plenty of dill seed,
beaucoup jars, lids, and rings and got my Ronco-Matic primed and ready
to slice.

If you find a recipe for dills that are crisp, please share. Mine
always turn out limp.
Doing some reading on the subject and seems they're advocating the
addition of Ball's Pickle Quick or making limed pickles. I'm on the way
to the market as we seem to have run out of dill weed and dill seed. I'm
going to see if they have pickle quick.
