GRANDMA'S CANDIED DILLS

Grandma's Candied Dills image

Mom has made these for as long as I can remember. Everybody loves them. Kids call Mom (whether they're ours or not) Grandma. They come in the house and head for the refrigerator hunting for "Grandma's Pickles". Hence the name. I get the pickling spice from an Amish grocery store. Very easy to make and very tasty.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 30- oz jar dill pickle slices
2 c sugar
2 Tbsp pickling spices
2 tsp frank's hot sauce
4 clove garlic, sliced thin

Steps:

1. Buy the cheapest brand of dill pickles (pickles now come in 30 oz. jars instead of the old 32 oz. size) and drain (discard the juice that you drain off). Put into a bowl and add the sugar. With a wooden spoon stir.
2. Keep stirring from time to time until a syrup begins to rise and the sugar dissolves. Leave the bowl on the counter top (this step will take about 5-6 hours). When syrup has risen, add the Frank's Hot Sauce and stir.
3. Put slices from 2 cloves of garlic in the bottom of the pickle jar, add the pickles, then slices from 2 more cloves of garlic on top of the pickles. Pour the syrup over the pickles and then put the pickling bag on top. Put on lid and then refrigerate. After 24 hours remove the bag of pickling spices and discard. The pickles get real crispy.
4. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!
5. Pat's Note: I put the spices in a coffee filter, twist the top of the coffee filter closed and tie it with a twist tie (like you get on a loaf of bread). Handy and easy.

Tips:

Choose fresh, firm cucumbers for the best results.
Soak the cucumbers in ice water for at least 2 hours before pickling. This will help to remove the bitterness from the cucumbers.
Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the pickling liquid. This will give the pickles a more complex flavor.
Be patient! Pickling takes time. Allow the pickles to sit for at least 2 weeks before eating them.

Conclusion:

Candied dills are a delicious and versatile pickle that can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or condiment. They are also a great way to use up extra cucumbers. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own candied dills at home. So what are you waiting for? Get pickling!
