These were very good! Nice blend of sweet and spicy! I had some sugar that did not disovle though on the bottom of the jar, next time I think I may cut the sugar a bit. My 17 year old daughter loved them!

I made a few changes to this to fit my taste and what I had on hand. I used a 32oz jar of generic brand whole dill pickles. I took them out and sliced them into half inch chunks. I put the chunks back and added 6 halved garlic cloves within the slices. I mixed the brine with 2 cups of sugar and maybe a teaspoon or two of hot sauce. They were a delicious sweet and spicy dill.

Yum with a kick! I made this as directed but chopped the pickle spears into bite size pieces and served with a straining spoon and toothpicks. I was surprised at how many got eaten at my party. It's one of those things you try and then have to go back and get another. The flavor was more sweet n sour with a little heat than garlic.

Excellent! My daughter eats these with her grilled cheese. Everyone I have made these for go nuts for them. If you like pickles and a little spice give them a try. You can also adjust the recipe to your taste. Thanks

Hi, I am the poster of this recipe and I just wanted to add a note that my grandfather's original recipe called for just red peper (not flakes) but after seeing the recipe here I tried it with the red pepper flakes and thought it was great that way too!

These are so delicious - I can't stop eating them. They taste even better after a week. Many friends have asked me for the "repickling" recipe. Mmmmm!

I have been making a very similar recipe to this for years. I don't care much for dill so I use sour pickles that I have to buy from Best Maid over the 'net' because they are hard to come by where I live. I do use minced garlic then let them set for a week stirring once a day, then again, I make a greater volume than this using a 5 lb bag of sugar so it takes some time to get all the sugar desolved. Try chopping some of these pickles into a relish and add to deviled eggs, tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. We love using these pickles every chance we get! Even adds a nice touch to a big ole juicy brat.
