Ingredients
- 32 ounces Whole dill pickles
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Pickling spice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the liquid from the jar of dill pickles and setting the pickles aside. Reserve the empty jar for later use.
Step 2
Slice the pickles into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Pour the granulated sugar over the sliced pickles in the bowl and gently stir to coat the pickles evenly. Allow the pickles to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours. The sugar will draw out moisture from the pickles and form a syrup.
Step 4
While the pickles are resting, combine the white vinegar, pickling spice, ground cinnamon, and optional red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to boil, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the brine to cool slightly.
Step 5
Once the sugar has dissolved and formed a syrup with the pickles, carefully pour the cooled spiced vinegar mixture over the pickles. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Transfer the candied pickles and their liquid back into the reserved pickle jar or an airtight container. Make sure the pickles are fully submerged in the syrup.
Step 7
Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The pickles will become sweeter and more flavorful over time.
Step 8
Serve the candied dills chilled as a snack, garnish, or side dish. Enjoy!
