My mom's delicious pickles, a Christmas tradition, are quick and easy to make since they start with a jar of purchased dill pickles and then are just "dressed up." They would make a nice gift from the kitchen in a pretty glass jar.-Denise Bitner, Reedsville, Pennsylvania

Time P7DT10m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (32 ounce) jar whole kosher dill pickles, drained
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Cut pickles into 1/2 inch slices and return to the jar.
  • Add the remaining ingredients.
  • Cover and shake until coated.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 week, shaking occasionally. Serve with a slotted spoon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Use fresh, firm cucumbers that are about 2 inches in diameter. Avoid cucumbers that are too large or too small, as they will not pickle evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife: When slicing the cucumbers, use a sharp knife to ensure that you get even slices. This will help the pickles to cook evenly.
  • Pack the jars tightly: When packing the cucumbers into the jars, pack them tightly so that there is no air space between them. This will help to prevent the pickles from floating and will also help them to pickle evenly.
  • Use a brine that is strong enough: The brine should be strong enough to preserve the pickles. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of vinegar for every 2 cups of water.
  • Add flavorings to the brine: You can add a variety of flavorings to the brine to give the pickles a unique flavor. Some popular flavorings include garlic, dill, mustard seeds, and peppercorns.
  • Process the pickles properly: Once the pickles are packed in the jars, they need to be processed properly. This can be done by boiling the jars in a water bath or by using a pressure canner.
  • Let the pickles cool completely: Once the pickles have been processed, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent the jars from breaking.

Conclusion:

Sweet pickles are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They can be served as a side dish, used as a sandwich topping, or added to salads and other dishes. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own sweet pickles at home.
