I didn't post this in the canning section because it isn't really canned, although it can be made with your own canned dill pickle slices. I like that it's made from things I store, besides being easy and good.
Sweet Pickles with a Kick
1 quart dill pickle slices (hamburger chips)
2 oz Tabasco sauce (1/4 cup)
garlic (a couple of cloves to a whole head, minced, depending on taste. I used a heaping teaspoon from a jar)
sugar
Pour juice off pickles (you can save it for another use, if you want), then pour Tabasco sauce into jar. Add garlic, then fill the jar with sugar (yes, the whole jar, to the top)
Put on the lid and put the jar in the refrigerator for 24 hours. I agitated it a few times, to distribute and dissolve the sugar. This is ready to eat after 24 hours.
You can adjust the amount of garlic and heat you want to suit your own taste. I imagine these could also be made with pickle spears, but not with whole pickles.
