Sweet Hot Pickles

"This recipe is the result of playing around with several different recipes after trying and falling in love with a commercial brand of sweet hot pickles. If you don't want hot pickles, just omit the pepper and you will have something close to a real crispy bread and butter pickle. After opening a jar, remove the pepper as the pickles will keep getting hotter. You could experiment with a different kind of pepper however we tried jalapeno and the taste was not the same and was a little weird, to us anyway!"
