Pickle Time!

These chubby beauties caught my eye at the Westside Community Market this morning so I just had to bring them home and introduce them to some brine. I've been wanting to make dill pickles for a while now and this desire has been encouraged by my co-conspirator. He wants to deep fry some. It sounds kind of hillbilly to me but he had them on a recent trip and swears they were wonderful. I've only had fried pickles once and they really weren't that great. It could be because they were pan fried rather than deep fried. Once these have soaked up some pickly goodness for a while we're going to crank up the fryer and find out!
