This recipe looked good so that was the starting point. Pretty much the ending point, too. I forgot the celery but there were plenty of crunchy bits because I put in lots of onion and red and green peppers. I cleaned out the last of the gherkins I had and chunked those up instead of using the relish I bought.
I hate to waste a good jar of pickle juice so I hard boiled some eggs to soak it up, adding habanero pepper flakes for a little kick to go with the sweet. Dill pickled eggs are also very good. Leave them in the juice for at least 2 weeks but longer is better. Tuck them into the back of your fridge and try to forget they are there.

Great idea for the pickle juice. Thanks for sharing.

Years ago Kroger had a sale on eggs – a dozen for a dollar or some such. I bought several dozen, boiled them and put them in a jar that held the brine leftover from those tiny pickled sausages. I took those to work and set them out. They were all gone that day.
