Oh goodness, I don't think I would do that if I were you. Vinegar is very important in the pickling process, its critical. Vinegar determines the pH of the pickling solution, the relative acidity of which affects whether bacteria in the food and solution are killed, affect the fermentation process, and the ultimate taste. You could well do all that work and end up with something that doesn't taste good, or worse, that could be dangerous for you to eat.
