Also, I use a recipe that uses honey instead of white sugar and they still come out sweet without being too sweet and unbelievably don’t taste like honey.

After attending the pickle festival in NYC one year, I learned to make all varieties of B&B pickles. My fave is either adding small sliced jalapeños to the step when you gently simmer the cucumber slices or you make pickled jalapeños (cowboy candy) and then add that to the hot jar before sealing. Those are my sweet and spicy pickles.
