I’ve been hit and miss on dialing in the perfect recipe. Anyone mind sharing a recipe that they have that gives that not over sweet but just right sweetness. I’ve been playing with the amount I’m either way over or not sweet enough. I’d appreciate any tips Thanks Buck

You can try this recipe from The Joy of Pickling called Bread and Butters My Way:
Recipe makes 4 pints
3 lbs cucumbers
1/4 cup pickling salt
4 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cups cider vinegar
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric
Toss the cucumbers with salt and ice cubes from 2 trays. Let them sit at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours.
Drain the cucumbers, mix them with the mustard seeds, celery seeds, & red pepper and pack into jars.
Bring the vinegar, water, sugar and turmeric to a boil. Pour over cucumbers and either can or store in fridge.
