Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used dill relish instead of sweet (personal preference) and they turned out PERFECT!! Also, I used only paprika for... garnish. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!Read more

A Blast from the Past!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was so good and the taste made me think of mom. This recipe has the right amount of sweet and tart. I fixed... these and left them overnight in the fridge for a Christmas Day appetizer and the taste was even more flavorful. The only thing I added was 1 tsp of vinegar for that extra kick. Yum! Yum! Yum!Read more

Just a little added flavor.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Same recipe my mother who was raised in South Carolina taught me, with the exception of shredded onion added. We also... garnish with paprika and green olives, not just the pimentos. I'm required to bring these to every family gathering. Great recipe to keep around for anytime of the year. Another great one Paula! Glad to know were doing it right.Read more
