Mrs. Fast Pickles image

A delicious sweet pickle, this recipe comes from my mom who got it from a dear old friend of hers from church. The original recipe doesn't seem to have had a title because we've always just called them 'Mrs. Fast Pickles.' Mrs. Fast passed away this last year, but she will be lovingly remembered by my mother, who saw her as a surrogate grandmother, and by myself, who also sort of 'adopted' her as a grandmother. (Cooking time includes standing time)

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pickles turned out too salty. I think I might have used too much salt.

These pickles are a bit too vinegary for my taste. I would recommend using less vinegar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pickles, but these ones are actually pretty good. They're not too sour and have a nice crunch.

I've tried many pickle recipes, but this one is by far the best. The pickles are crispy and flavorful, and the brine is perfectly balanced.
