Awful. “Vinegary.” This is not a true bread and butter pickle. The spice mix is good, but needed cloves. The sugar level is WAY too low. Add one cup of regular sugar. If this is your first attempt at these pickles, please make these adjustments first. I’m really shocked Food Network put this one out there.

Added a few whole cloves and extra sugar/salt to taste. I suggest tweak to your tastebuds.
