Step 2: Slice up the onions, and peppers. You can add as many onions, and peppers as you desire. All the veggies are super delicious soaked in this sweet pickle juice.

Step 3: Put all your Veggies in a large container.

Step 4: Add all the ingredients under the heading “liquid” (vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery seeds) into a sauce pan, and bring to a boil.

Step 5: Pour the boiling hot liquid into the container with the sliced veggies.

NOTE: It will look like there is not enough liquid, but this is when the magic happens!!

Step 6: Let your veggie concoction sit on the counter, and give it a stir every 15 minutes, until the liquid reaches the top of the veggies! It’s MAGIC! The rising liquid will be complete in about 3 stirs!

This is how your liquid will rise with every stir. It took me 45 minutes to get them all covered in the sweet pickle liquid. My mouth is watering right now… Oh, Yummm!

Step 7: Eat them all….. Lol, or put your delicious sweet pickles into some cute jars, and refrigerate! Or even give them away as gifts, and share the sweet pickle love!
