Aunt Poly's Sweet Pickles
"You just have to eat these pickles to understand how good they are. I will never again make this type pickles from scratch. These are just as good and a lot less trouble. The cook time is actually refrigerator time, since you don't do any cooking on this. Special thanks to my Aunt Poly Cole for this recipe."

I waited impatiently for 7 days in order to try these pickles...the wait was definitely worth it! This taste of this pickle is sweet with just a bit of spicy tang. My brother in law tasted these and asked me to make a jar for him. I actually only made 1 quart, scaling down amounts & it worked perfectly. I did use the pickling spice option. I no longer will have to buy sweet & zesty pickles because now I can make my own. Oh, be sure to follow the advice of Jellyqueen about not slicing too thin...next time I will make sure my slices are about 3/4 of an inch because I like chunky pickles and these draw up. Thanks, Jellyqueen, for a really great recipe!
