Quick & Easy Sweet Refrigerator PicklesPin itFollow us 148.4k

These sugar-free pickles are so good! The recipe is based on my Homemade Pickled Gherkins, a family recipe my mom has been making ever since I can remember. I simplified it and used sliced cucumber instead of whole gherkins, similar to Naomi's crispy Low-Carb Zucchini Pickles.

These pickles are the perfect topping for keto burgers and a great addition to sandwiches made with low-carb bread. Enjoy!

Note: Nutrition facts are estimated as some of the ingredients are only used for pickling (due to negligible effects on nutrition facts, I fully included them in the calculation).

Ingredients (makes 600 ml jar)

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

I made these and they are so good. Mine were very hot and spicy, not sure they were supposed to be, but I thought they were delicious!

Thank you Diane! It depends on what you like. I like mine spicy but if you prefer it mild you could use use just half of the pepper or use a mild type like jalapeño or poblano.

Hi Susan, they are used for taste. I don't use artificial sweeteners - these are all natural: Top 6 Keto Sweeteners and Low-Carb Sweetener Conversion Chart
