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

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.

I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to my candied dills for a little bit of a kick.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my candied dills turned out too soft. I think I needed to cook them for a little longer.
