Mr. Jim's Spicy Bread & Butter Pickles

The brown sugar gives these B&B's a bold flavor and the red pepper gives them a nice little kick. They have a good flavor as soon as they are cooled but the flavors will deepen if allowed to sit for 24 hours. I am told they will keep for about a month in the refrigerator, but I have never had a jar that lasted that long.
