These pickles became a family favorite from the very first taste! They are so easy, but they do need to sit in the fridge for one week before the flavor is where it is supposed to be. I tasted them each day and the flavor really changes as it sits. The first day the heat was right there in your face. Day two it was the sweetness that came through and by day three and four the flavors mellow and you get just the right amount of sweetness to the little bit of spice. I will be making these all summer! I made them last week and we have already gone through 3/4 of the jar! If you like sweet/heat you will love these!
INGREDIENTS
2 jars (32 ounces each) dill pickle slices or spears
4 cups sugar
