Nothin' Sweet About These Spicy Refrigerator Pickles image

A truly piquant pickle that will satisfy those of us who have a loose sweet tooth. I have been looking for a truly flavorful pickle recipe, not sweet, but not just spicy, either. The key is the variety of ingredients, not just cutting down on the sugar. Only 24 hours in the refrigerator, and they're ready for snacking. Pucker up!

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups water
1 ¼ cups white vinegar
