Ingredients
- 32 oz Sliced dill pickles (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce (such as Tabasco or Sriracha)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the liquid from the 32 oz jar of dill pickles and set it aside. You can save it for future use or discard it.
Step 2
Place the pickle slices in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, white vinegar, and hot sauce to the bowl.
Step 4
Stir the mixture gently to ensure all pickle slices are evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
Step 5
Transfer the coated pickles and any liquid created by the sugar dissolving into a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pack them in tightly but without crushing them.
Step 6
Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pickles to sit for at least 5 days, turning the jar upside down and right side up each day to distribute the liquid and spices evenly.
Step 7
After 5 days, the pickles will be ready to enjoy. Serve chilled, and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
