I tried these and they turned out great ,as long as I used the cheap brand of dill pickles ,whether I made strips out of whole ones, or ,the sliced ones , (both of the "cheap" ones came from Sam's), when I tried recipe using "Claussen" Dill Strips they turned out shriveled and limp, They still had a good taste , but were not crunchy ! My friends and family love the cheap, crunchy ones ,to those who like them hotter, I add a couple of red peppers, makes them pretty ,too

These pickles are awesome. I've been searching for a recipe like this for months! I made them at Christmas and they were a big hit. I just made my 2nd batch the other day. I did make a couple of changes...I used the sliced dill pickles. I used about 5-6 oz of jalapeno juice instead of tabasco. (from a jar of pickled jalapeno's)I also added about 1 1/2 cups of sliced jalapeno's (I had to remove some pickles to make room.) 4 1/2 cups of sugar was all I used as well. These were so crisp! I've had several requests for the recipe. These are excellent with grilled cheese sandwiches and burgers.

I have been making these at Xmas and giving them as gifts for years. (Had no idea I wasn't alone)! These pickles really are delicious and fun to make, jar, label, and distribute.

Note: sugar pulls out the moisture from the drained pickles. If your pickle spears come out too shrunken, cut the amount of sugar. One or two reviews said they cut the sugar by half.

What a nice surprise! I made these as Christmas Gifts and they were great. People look for them yearly now. I used large dill pickles and cut them into spears. Yummy!

My family loves these pickles! I add a few quartered jalapeno peppers for heat. I also used half the sugar called for with no discernable change in taste. Great Recipe.

These were YUMMY! I will make these all the time. Everyone I gave to liked them! Great easy recipe! Thank You! I did split the batch in half after they were done, and I put a few habaneros in one half of the batch. This gave them a huge boost in spicyness, if you like spice.

Good flavor but they were limp and looked like they were just the peel left to them all curled up. Not very pretty.

This is a great recipe! I have made these before but w/out the hot sauce. They are better with the hot sauce. You taste the sweetness first then the hot kicks in-they are great! I made 3 gallons for presents-putting them into jars.

I've had this recipe for years and finally have tried it! My family will love the sweet spicy flavor. I wanted to comment also that the original recipe hadn't warned that eventually the liquid would be greater than the jar due to the increased liquid so I poured it off and poked straigt garlic cloves in it. This recipe is definitely a "keeper" for year round. This time around it is going faster than I can put it into smaller jars but next time I'll just start out with three gallons and then we'll each have our own.

I wanted to try this for Christmas and bought a 680g jar of pickled dill cucumbers at the store. I just sliced them last night and added the tabasco and garlic and sugar. I have to say, it has only been one day and I have tasted them and they are fantastic. Crunchy. Tingly spicy and sweet. Addictive. I will buy a few more jars as I can't resist. I don't think this jar will last a week. Thankyou for the new Christmas recipe to add to my other pickle recipes. It's a KEEPER!

I'd never heard of pickles like this before, so I had to try them. They were sweet, spicy (swicy), crunchy, and fun to make. I will make again!

I was afraid to make these so I used a 1/2 gallon of pickles. I sliced them into spears. They sort of shriveled up and look funny....is that right? They are tasty, just weird looking. I will try them again, but want to try slices instead of spears. A nice sweet/spicy flavor. Very nice.

These were DELICIOUS!! I wasn't sure about the directions (starting out w/no liquid), however, they were well worth taking the chance. I took some to work and everyone raved about them and asked for the recipe!

I had a blast making these pickles! They are so close to tasting like Tony Packo's Sweet Hots. I made two gallons, one jar cut into spears and the other cut into thick slices. I like the slices better and they were to my liking after only five days. I am going to experiment with about half the sugar and a little less garlic, next time. The Tabasco is perfect, though. I processed some of the finished pint jars in a boiling water bath for ten minutes so I can keep them longer. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

This is similar to a recipe I have used, except we purchased gallon jars of hamburger slices at Sam's instead of having to slice the pickles. As you described, they are dark green, crisp and yummy. Everyone loves them. My recipe calls them "cheater pickles." We packaged them in small containers with a red plaid ribbon for Christmas gifts. A big hit! Mine did not call for the hot sauce.

This recipe was fun and easy to make. The flavor is similar to bread and butter pickles, but with a little extra kick. I love the ease in which one can adjust the recipe to suit their preferences. For instance, I didn't have hot pepper sauce, so I used red pepper flakes. Also, I used about half the sugar and the recipe came out just fine. Texas Christmas Pickles will be a staple in my refrigerator all year 'round! Thanks a million for sharing this recipe.
