Cucumbers, Bitterness: Bitterness in cucumbers, usually attributable to the growing conditions, will persist in the pickled product. There’s no way to remove it.
Cucumber Varieties, Pickling: The Dept, of Horticulture at VPI suggests these varieties of cucumbers be grown in Virginia for pickling: Bounty, Pioneer, SMR18, and SMR58. These recommendations are based on grower experience and university trials. Charlie O’Dell, Extension Specialist, Small Fruit and Vegetable Production, suggests that Pickleriffic, a new variety in 1981, will probably be added to the list after further grower tests.
