Can you use sugar only to pickle? (sh.itjust.works)

There are honey cured meats and sugar seems to do the same thing as salt. I don't think I've seen anyone say sugar pickles. Anyone know? Yes, I googled it.

I have pickled grapes with sugar, but not sugar alone. It was a mix of sugar, salt, and vinegar.

    1 1/2 Cups Apple Cider Vinegar
    1 Cup Water
    1 Cup Sugar
    Pickling Spice
    1 Quart Washed Red Seedless Grapes
    1 Sliced Red Onion

    Dissolve sugar in hot water. Cool water totally. While water is cooling wash your grapes and fill a quart jar, place the onion at the top, then pour in the pickling spice. Once the water is fully cooled, mix in the vinegar and pour over the grapes. Put on your lid and place in the refrigerator for about a week (i started on Wednesday, and ate them Saturday)

    This is a love or hate thing. I ate an entire quart of them the first time I made them.
