This is my personal version of this sweet & tangy appetizer. Good enough to be served as a side, such as I did tonight. They went well with crispy cheesy potato stuffed Pierogies. A Pennsylvania staple. I hope you try my version sometime.
If you don't like the heat of the pepper flakes, just leave them out. They'll still be delicious!
