Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Dill pickle slices
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Pickling spice
Instructions
Drain the pickle slices thoroughly, reserving about 1/4 cup of the brine, and discard the remaining brine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, white vinegar, and reserved brine. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved to create a sweet and tangy liquid base.
Add the crushed red pepper flakes, sliced garlic, and pickling spice to the bowl. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
Layer the drained pickle slices into a clean quart-sized jar or any airtight container.
Pour the prepared liquid and spice mixture over the pickles, ensuring all slices are submerged.
Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let the pickles sit for 2-3 days before enjoying.
Serve chilled as a spicy and sweet snack, or use them to elevate sandwiches, burgers, or charcuterie boards.
