Anyone have a good recipe/method to make pickles w/out having to pressure cook and all that? There may not even be a way, but I was hoping you could just make the brine and just throw the cukes in...

I brought that stuff home a my grandma like to went thru the roof, she said you can't make pickles with that stuff and if you do they will be awful. We gave it a try and that is all she uses now, said they should have came out with that stuff a long time ago, plus it is cheaper.

Where can you get it?

Now a water bath is highly recommended by the FDA to remove risk of botulism, but considering the acidity of the brine and the fact that it's already near boiling when you seal the jar, you are probably safe without even a water bath. But don't take my words for it, I'm sure there has been that one incidence where someone got sick from pickles that weren't put in a water bath...
For the fridge, obviously no bath is needed, just pour the brine over and let it sit in the fridge for a few days. Last year I canned a bunch of pickles from homegrown cukes and there's still a jar left over now. A water bath for 10 min is all you need to be on the "safe" side. I don't even have a pressure cooker.

I have bought it at wal-mart and at Food City (they may not have it in yet...)... btw.. the salsa mix they have is awesome as well.
