These pickles were a family favorite and were made by my grandmother. When she opened them, they were gone in a day, so it’s a shame they have to wait for 2 weeks until they’re ready!

Reviews
I started out with half a batch as written and these were way too sweet for us. When I made the other half of the batch I left out the white sugar altogether and that was perfect for us. If you like really sweet pickles I think you will love this, If not, I recommend cutting back on the sugar. I did love how the tartness still came through from the original pickle.
