This is a divine pickle recipe you can eat-right-away. It’s perfect when you have a craving for sweet/sour flavor. It gives a wonderful lift to your favorite deli meat sandwich. It is positively addictive on a grilled hamburger. I also add this to chopped salads. Plus it looks so beautiful in the jars in your refrigerator. It only takes 15 minutes to make. It’s ready to go in eight hours, and it will last, refrigerated, for up to 5 days. This is such a favorite in our house I usually double the recipe.
