Do you mean pickling cucumbers? Or pickles? Is this supposed to pickle cucumbers, or is it doing something to already-made pickles? I'm confused!

Could you do a version of these making sweet pickles? Since we moved to the UK all I can find are dills and sours. I miss sweet pickles. Any ideas?

I'm not sure..I do not know what ingredients you would use..<br><br>
Go to <a href="http://www.allrecipies.com" target="_blank">www.allrecipies.com</a> and see if they have some sort of a sweet pickle recipe you can make..It may not be as easy as this but at least you will find one that works for you...Good luck..
