    Low Carb Keto Sweet Pickles

    "Smart moms know how kids minds grow upon... Sweet Pickles!"

    I've had this jingle stuck in my head all morning as I worked on this recipe for sweet pickles (commercial below).

    Sweet Pickles was this children's book subscription service in the 1980's.

    The books chronicled a ragtag crew of over-sized animals.  Each animal had a terrible character flaw.  There was Jealous Jackal, Accusing Alligator, Yakety Yak and of course, their ringleader, Goof-off Goose.  Every month their bad behavior got them into some kind of "pickle".

    Hence the name.

    Like so many things from my childhood, there are elements of Sweet Pickles that would never fly today.  Enormous Elephant the over-eating pachyderm?  Unlikely.  And I don't even know what was going on with X-Rating Xerus (an actual character).

    Nothing good.

    But anyway, pickles.

    Here's my recipe for sweet and spicy pickles.  Not to be a Smarty Stork, but this might just be the best low carb pickle recipe on the Internet.

    Sweet Pickles!

      Just made these, not enough brine to cover pickles. Will they cook down sitting in brine?

        Just mix them up every couple days to let all the cucumbers get some time in the brine.

        They'll last on the fridge for 2-3 months before starting to soften

      Made these with only a slight change. I salted my cucumbers while the pickle juice was heating up to draw out water from them for about an hour. Then I drained and rinsed once. I didn't add salt to the pickle juice. They tasted just like bread and butter pickles. I even put in some pieces of cauliflower. They were good too but might have been better if they had boiled in the pickle juice for a few minutes. Awesome recipe. It will become a regular for me!

      I haven’t made the recipe yet but wondering if the pickles are crunchy since there is no lime bath like with regular sweet pickles?

          Yes they are crunchy. I love the sweet and spicy! They remind me of bread and butter pickles, but better!
