SWEET-AND-SOUR QUICK PICKLES



Sweet-and-Sour Quick Pickles image

Inspired by classic bread-and-butter pickles, these sweet-and-sour pickles are a bit more sour than sweet with a hint of mustard and dill. Apple cider vinegar lends a fruitier flavor to the no-cook brine than white vinegar, which is often used for making cucumber pickles.
