as advertised
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is really an excellent recipe. I followed most of the other reviewers' suggestions, and added some pieces of green... pepper and Vidalia onions. I might make this again using only the peppers and/or onions. One thing I didn't like about the recipe itself was the instruction to add "rounded" teaspoons of sugar. That's a bit too inexact for pickles. I also agree that the garlic should be chopped or crushed. A whole, cracked garlic clove can't really impart much flavor to quick pickles; it doesn't have time to infuse the brine. Other than that, excellent.Read more

Delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was surprised by how good these were. They were absolutely delicious. Normally I don't like pickles that are at all sweet,... but the sugar was a nice balance. They were so good we ate them all before they were completely chilled. Next time I'll make a bigger batch so there are some to save! For as simple as the recipe was, the instant delicious results were a shock. I agree that it would work better with more liquid. Also, I think the brine would be delicious for blanched cauliflower or green beans, as I believe Racheal suggested in the show.Read more
