And the verdict? Yum! They had a nice, crisp texture and sweet, but not too sweet, flavor. My friends liked them, too. And, yes, they would have said so if they were icky. Of course, they didn’t know that saying they liked them meant they’ll be getting a pint of them for Christmas…

These look great! I love bread and butter pickles but have never tried making them myself.
