sweet refrigerator pickles

I found these on recipezazz.com and they were posted by Queen Bea (she found them on Facebook). All I know is that they don't last long here...the longest was a week and a half before empty jar syndrome hit. The vegetables stayed crisp the whole time. I used a red bell pepper instead of a green one. It made the pickles look prettier in the jar. Very easy to make.

    Pat's Notes: I used a red bell pepper to give the pickles color. These never last long here and I find an empty jar a lot! In the summer and fall when I have my home grown cucumbers I don't peel them. If they are store bought I use a vegetable wash to clean them (the wax off the peel). If that fails I peel them.
