Sam, What about all of the sugar in Sweet Pickle Juice??? I could drink the Dill Pickle juice but not the Sweet. When I make Homemade pickles my ingredients are no where the same. I use white vinegar on one & apple cider vinegar on the other.

Remember the salt, too, if you have high blood pressure. There's a lot of salt used in making any kind of pickles. Joyce Sam, What about all of the sugar in Sweet Pickle Juice???
