Really good pickles, if a little too sweet for our taste. I found the alum at a local drugstore after a bit of a search and set off to make this super-easy recipe. Also used Kitten's pickling spice in this for added flavour. Other than the fact that I would cut the sugar back by atleast a cup (to suit our taste), this produces tasty, crisp pickles in no time.
