HOMEMADE SWEET DILL YUM-YUM PICKLES



Homemade Sweet Dill Yum-Yum Pickles image

These are made with store-bought dill pickles in the jar and are 100% better than the ones you purchase at the store and they stay crunchy! I use Claussen garlic dills or Vlassic dills but you may use your own favorite brand or use your own homemade dill pickles, I like either brands for the extra crunch, use regular or large size size dills not the small baby dills----plan ahead this needs a few days before the pickles are ready ;-)

Time P2D

Yield 2 (32-ounce) jars pickles

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (32 ounce) jars large-size garlic dill pickles (drained and washed under cold water)
4 cups white sugar, divided (measured exactly)
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon pickling spices

Steps:

  • Slice the washed pickles into about 1/4 to 1/3-inch slices, then place in a medium bowl.
  • Pour 2 cups sugar over the slices and toss/stir to coat with the pickle slices.
  • Allow to sit out at room temperature for 24 hours tossing several times with a spoon during the 24 hours (I just leave a spoon in the bowl, juice will gather in the bowl, do not drain!).
  • After the 24 hours (do not drain the juice in the bowl) in a medium saucepan combine 2 cups sugar, vinegar, water, pickling spice; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring until the sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes).
  • Make certain that the bowl is Pyrex or heat-proof or it might crack when you pour the boiling water into it -- pour the water mixture over the sugared pickles and the sugar juice that has gathered in the bowl; mix very well with a spoon.
  • Allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for about 8 hours or overnight.
  • Drain pickles (you don't have to completely drain).
  • Transfer pickles to clean glass jars and store covered or uncovered in refrigerator.
  • Serve cold.

OH SO GOOD SWEET DILL PICKLES



Oh so Good Sweet Dill Pickles image

from Bon Apetit and tweaked a bit. The pickles are dill but with a sweet taste. You can make these one week ahead of time, and they should keep for 2-3 weeks, but I bet you eat them before that! These are great for summer relish trays by the BBQ.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Pickling cucumbers are the best choice for making sweet dills. They are small, firm, and have a thin skin.
  • Use fresh dill: Fresh dill is essential for giving sweet dills their signature flavor. If you can't find fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Make sure the brine is strong enough: The brine is what flavors the cucumbers, so it's important to make sure it's strong enough. The recipe in the article calls for 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of salt per quart of water.
  • Let the cucumbers ferment for at least 2 weeks: The longer you let the cucumbers ferment, the more flavorful they will be. However, you can start eating them after just a few days if you're impatient.
  • Store the cucumbers in a cool, dark place: Once the cucumbers are fermented, you can store them in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Sweet dills are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for summer cookouts, picnics, or potlucks. With a little planning, you can enjoy sweet dills all year long.
