Definitely using raw honey adds more enzymes to it, which is beneficial, but I think you could still successfully make them with regular honey instead. Hope you enjoy them!

I'm going to try to round up the mustard and celery seeds this weekend, since our pickles seem to be coming in overnight! I was wondering, though, if the honey needed to be raw? I'm guessing the honey is what preserves the pickles, so I don't want to mess up, but raw honey is VERY expensive where we live. Thanks, Michelle! :-) This recipe looks really yummy!

I plan on making the bread and butter pickles for my husband later this week. I have just plain store bought ACV. Would that be bad to use?

I mainly prefer using sea salt because of all the additional trace minerals it contains, but when you're substituting different kinds of salt in almost any recipe, it doesn't really matter which kind you use.

How much does it matter that you use sea salt? I have regular salt and kosher salt - would either of these work? Thanks for posting these recipes. How much does it matter that you use sea salt?

Would it work to cut them in spears instead? I much prefer pickle spears as opposed to slices. Oh, and a copy of Nourishing Traditions should be here any day from Amazon! I am so excited!
