I have a question on sweet pickles.  My granmothers' recipe requires several
weeks of soaking the cucumbers in brine, then in a sweet syrup.  I'd like to
try sweet pickles, but I don't have a safe place to leave them to sit for
that long.  (I have visions of a cat ending up in the crock of pickles.)  Are
there recipes for sweet pickles that require less time?

Thanks
