"This is a really old recipe I used to make, but the children never liked it. It wasn't until we went out the other night to a really nice Chinese restaurant, and of all things we were served these pre dinner. Now the children I just mentioned (now adults) loved these at the restaurant and reminded me how I used to make them and how they liked them, and then asked me to make them again. Funny how things taste better when they come into fashion.... Go figure! PLEASE NOTE: I have not incorporated the overnight standing times in this recipe. This recipe also makes approx. 10 cups."

These are so delicious...they are very sweet...like sweet pickles...I did let them sit for 5 days before trying...after you pour in the vinegar mixture the lids will seal...once you open them they will need to be refrigerated...next time I'm going to cut back on the sugar and add a habanero pepper cut in half and see if it adds a touch of heat...this is a keeper...thanks for sharing the recipe...made for "Pick Me" tag game...
