My family's favourite variation of the east coast favourite. A great way to use all those huge cucumbers from your garden. Goes great with holiday dinners, meat and potatoes or as a relish on burgers. The recipe came from the Prince Edward Island Women's Institute Cookbook from the 70's.

I love adding these mustard pickles to my salads. They give the salad a nice pop of flavor and crunch. I also like to use them as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.

These mustard pickles are the best thing to put on a ham and cheese sandwich. They add a nice tang and crunch that takes the sandwich to the next level.

I'm not a big fan of pickles, but I tried these mustard pickles and I was pleasantly surprised. They're not too sour or vinegary, and the mustard sauce is really good. I'll definitely be eating these again.

I love spicy food, so I added a little extra chili pepper to this recipe. The pickles turned out perfectly! They have a nice kick, but they're not too hot.

These mustard pickles remind me of my childhood. My grandmother used to make them every summer. They're so good on sandwiches, salads, and even just as a snack.
