Crisp Sweet Pickles Recipe

Photo by: Taste of Home Crisp Sweet Pickles Recipe

My mom's delicious pickles, a Christmas tradition, are quick and easy to make since they start with a jar of purchased dill pickles and then are just "dressed up." They would make a nice gift from the kitchen in a pretty glass jar.—Denise Bitner, Reedsville, Pennsylvania
