Lime Cucumber Pickles

This is the best pickle recipe that I have found. It works every time!! Pickles are always crisp and good. I did cut back the lime to 2 cups since other lime recipes had 2 cups to 2 gallons of water. We couldn't tell any difference in the crispness of the pickles when changed to 2 cups. If you want old fashioned lime pickles that anyone can do, this is the recipe for you.
