Hey guys and gals
Since you have helped me with my S.O's saturn oil consumption and electric dog fences... I figured I would ask the experts:
Can I make refridgerator pickles with out sugar... I hate sweet pickles!
But, it looks like this pickling process (i have done some research) requires sugar to make the chemical process work.
So show me your recipes please!
Btw it looks I will have 4 qts of cukes to pickle. And I have fresh dill, onion and horseradish.
Thanks guys and gals
Don't have a recipe, but dill pickles aren't sweet. I think they use vinegar and alum.
You don't need sugar, but you have to be careful to avoid Listeria. Food Poisoning isn't fun.

Please recall that many older recipes were actually crafted by our ancestors to preserve food before the advent of refrigeration. IIRC, pickling is one of those techniques.
