Holly's Sweet Pickles image

My mom made pickles just like these when we were growing up. This recipe is from a dear friend but is identical. It might seem complicated but you'll never have a better sweet pickle for those leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches.

I'm not a huge fan of pickles, but these were actually really good! They're not too sweet and they have a nice crunch.

These pickles were a bit too sour for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less vinegar.
