My mom makes some yummy sweet pickles.  That means something coming from me since I am not their biggest fan.

Here is the recipe.

Five Day Sweet Pickles

• 4 cups vinegar
• 1/2 cup pickling salt
• 5 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1 1/3 tsp pickling spice
• 1 1/2 tsp mustard seed

Heat mixture until the sugar dissolves and add sliced cucumbers.  Place in jars and let refrigerate for 5 days.

Then eat!

I recommend eating them on top of a water cracker.  It is so delicious.
