Low-Carb Crunchy Sweet Pickles

By 60 Comments

Ok, this may be my FAVORITE video and lime pickles recipe to date! These crunchy Sweet Pickles take me back to my childhood. My dad always put up veggies and pickles in the summer and these were the best! 

I love just eating them out of the jar! If you haven’t eaten homemade CRUNCHY sweet pickles in an egg salad or chicken salad, you truly are missing out! Store bought relish won’t do once you make your own. Click here wrice to know more.

Don’t be intimidated! This recipe is very easy and forgiving!

NOTE:

In the video I use part honey and stevia BUT you can use 100% sugar substitutes and they will turn out perfectly!

I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

  1. What is pickling lime made from, and what does this do in the recipe? Thanks, I love sweet picked and a sugar free version is wonderful.

    • Hi Jillian, line is another name for calcium hydroxide. It leaves the pickles extra crunchy. I grew up eating this type of pickles and was excited to me able to make a lower carb version! I hope you give them a try.

  2. Do I store all 5 pints in the fridge, or just the pint I’m planning to use first, and keeping the other 4 in the cubbard with my other jarred stuff?
    Thanks, Bonnie

    • Bonnie, you don’t have to store them all in the refrigerator, just the ones you want to eat now. I’m about to make my third batch… My family loves them!

      • I can’t wait to make these today. I love sweet pickles in my Tuna Salad and was so disappointed to see the sweet pickles I had been using have so much sugar in them. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe ♥️

        • Awesome Bonnie, keep me posted! Just be sure to read ahead in the directions and plan accordingly since it is a three day process. The last batch I made things soaked even longer than in my recipe and everything turned out great!

  3. I finished making these sweet pickles yesterday and did a taste test today. Instead of Honey, I used 2 Tablespoons of Swerve Powdered Sweetener + ½ teaspoon NuNaturals NuStevia Reb99™ Pure Stevia Powdered Extract.
    I also ran a little short on the brine.
    Mine have a strong vinegary taste, but they are crunchy and sweet.
    Will they be ok in the fridge if I cut the juice with water? How much vinegar do I have to use for them to process? (Can I make a weaker solution?) … or do I just need more sweetener?
    🤔

    • Hi Bonnie, probably more sweetener would be the best solution. These pickles are definitely supposed to be twangy and sweet. How much more solution do you need? With my first batch, I was a little short and I just canned them the same and put them in the refrigerator for the 24 hours and then ate them first. They were perfect.

  4. Thanks for the recommendations shared on your blog. Something else I would like to mention is that fat loss is not exactly about going on a fad diet and trying to shed as much weight as you’re able in a set period of time. The most effective way to shed pounds is by using it slowly but surely and right after some basic points which can allow you to make the most from the attempt to lose fat. You may know and already be following these tips, yet reinforcing information never hurts.

  5. I run a vape store directory and we have had a posting from a vape store in the United States that additionally sells CBD product lines. A Calendar month later, PayPal has written to use to say that our account has been limited and have requested us to take out PayPal as a payment solution from our vape shop web directory. We do not offer CBD goods like CBD oil. We merely offer web marketing solutions to CBD firms. I have looked into Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Top Health Retailer and if you take a close peek, you will witness that they sell a relatively extensive series of CBD items, particularly CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement method. It appears that PayPal is employing twos sets of rules to many different firms. As a result of this restriction, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related website. This has limited my payment options and now, I am greatly dependent on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have consulted a barrister from a Magic Circle law office in London and they explained that what PayPal is undertaking is altogether not legal and discriminatory as it ought to be applying a systematic benchmark to all companies. I am still to speak to an additional attorney from a US law practice in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the United States. For the time being, I would be extremely appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD firms.

  6. I would also like to add that if you do not already have an insurance policy or maybe you do not take part in any group insurance, you could well really benefit from seeking the assistance of a health insurance broker. Self-employed or those with medical conditions usually seek the help of any health insurance brokerage service. Thanks for your article.
