Make up a jar and keep them in your fridge. Strange though they are, these bright pink beauties are extraordinarily refreshing on a hot summer day. Full on sour dill and tasting of cherry. Tart but sweet. Adapted from Alton Brown's cookbook "Feasting on Asphalt" courtesy of the White Front Cafe, Rosedale, MS.

Steps:
- 1. Get a jar of dill pickles (not kosher, garlic + koolaide = not good eats). Take all the pickles out of the jar. Slice them in half lengthwise.
- 2. Take all the pickles out of the jar. Slice them in half lengthwise. You can use the spears or even the slices if you want to, I simply prefer to slice the whole ones.
- 3. Mix a half pound of sugar and two cherry koolaide packets into the brine.
- 4. Pickles go back in, then into the fridge for a week.
- 5. Note* you can use other flavors of Kool-aid if you want but cherry is the... umm.. traditional one. Well as much as you can say pickles and kool-aid go together that is.
Tips:
- Choose firm, unblemished cucumbers for the best results.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers evenly.
- Soak the cucumbers in ice water for at least 2 hours before pickling to help them stay crisp.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the pickling liquid. Some popular choices include garlic, dill, mustard seeds, and peppercorns.
- Taste the pickling liquid before adding the cucumbers to make sure it is flavorful enough. You can adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Allow the pickles to cool completely before serving. This will help them to absorb the flavors of the pickling liquid.
Conclusion:
Koolickles are a delicious and refreshing snack that can be enjoyed all year round. They are also a great way to use up cucumbers that are in season. With a variety of recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a koolickle recipe that everyone will enjoy.
