Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have time to marinate the pickles overnight, you can still make them. Just heat the vinegar, sugar, celery seed, mustard seed, and salt in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved. Then, pour the hot mixture over the vegetables and let them sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
- For a spicier pickle, add a few dashes of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- These pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
