Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Dill pickle spears
- 1 packet Unsweetened Kool-Aid powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by draining the pickle juice from the jar of dill pickle spears into a medium-sized mixing bowl, leaving the pickle spears in the jar.
Add the unsweetened Kool-Aid powder and granulated sugar to the pickle juice in the bowl.
Stir the mixture well until the sugar and Kool-Aid powder have completely dissolved in the pickle juice.
Pour the flavored pickle juice back into the jar over the pickle spears, making sure they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Seal the jar with its lid tightly and gently shake it to ensure even distribution of the Kool-Aid mixture around the pickles.
Place the jar in the refrigerator and let the pickles marinate for at least 1 week. This allows the flavors to fully develop and the pickles to soak up the Kool-Aid mixture.
After a week, remove the jar from the fridge and enjoy your colorful and unique Kool-Aid pickles as a fun snack or side dish!
