The USDA does not advise using lime in pickles. There were too many instances of spoilage when lime was used in pickles. The reason for using lime was to increase crispiness. Find a new tested recipe for pickles at the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) website and follow their directions for safe crispy pickles.

What are some different kinds of pickles?

There are 2 general types of pickles or gherkins: sweet or sour. The tastes are created by the solution they are pickled in. "Brined" pickles get their sour taste from fermentation, as opposed to the vinegar solutions used for other pickles. Other types of pickles are kosher-type (sour or half-sour), bread-and-butter pickles (a sweeter taste), lime pickles (which may also be salt pickled), and Swedish thin-sliced pickles.
