Christina's Notes

  • Make Night Before: Make these pickles the night best before and refrigerate overnight for the best results.
  • Hot Pickles: For spicy pickles without the added sweetness, just hold the sugar.
  • Sugar-Free: To make sugar free sweet and spicy pickles, use a sugar alternative such as stevia.
