These sweet and spicy pickles are great on a sandwich or all by themselves as a snack. The recipe is an easy way to dress up store-brought pickles and make them a special treat! &mdash;Myra Innes, Auburn, Kansas

Fire-and-Ice Pickles

dill pickle slices or spears

sugar

hot pepper sauce

red pepper flakes

garlic cloves,

I would also love to know if these could be put in a water bath canner so they could be stored on a shelf and not in the fridge!  These are awesome pickles!

I made my own lacto fermented pickles and then used this recipe. In the ferment was salt brine, garlic, black tea bags, and dill.

After a week, I disposed of half the brine, and topped with cider vinegar. Let sit for 3 days.

Then I proceeded with this recipe, being liberal on the heat.

Best. Pickles. Ever!

I packed pickles in jars, filled three quarters with sugar juice, and one quarter vinegar brine.

Steam canner 5 minutes to seal.

Out of this world!

I agree with Imgallinat, these are awesome pickles and I would definitely love to know if anyone has tried the water bathe to preserve longer unrefrigerated.  Also has anyone tried making these from scratch and not using store bought pickles?

These pickles are the B.E.S.T.!!! My family loves them, and I’ve been making them about every month (126 oz. jar). I also want to know if anyone has tried a water bath on them.  Would love to gift them and not worry about refrigeration. Thanks in advance!

My family loves these pickles, I’ve been making them for years.  For those asking about the liquid,    the sugar pulls the liquid out of the pickles. I use Vlasic dill spears and have never had a problem  getting enough liquid to fill the jars after putting the pickles in. Give these a try, they are very easy and taste great!

Seems like a lot of sugar. 4 cups? Just asking

For those asking about the liquid, you do not add any liquid to these. They make their own from the moisture in the pickles and the sugar, though not a whole lot. I have seen some recipes where you retain a small amount of the pickle juice to add to this, ranging from 1/4 c. to 1 c. But doing so will give more dill flavor and a bit less sweet.

Made these and did not wait a week to try them. Yummo. If they get better after a week, oh my goodness. Made them using a 16 ounce jar of generic hamburger dills and adjusted the other ingredients appropriately. Maybe put a tad more red pepper flakes because my 1/8 teaspoon was in the dishwasher. Will make again.

I don&#039;t have a review, just a question. I want to make these really bad, but I don&#039;t understand the instructions. It says to drain and discard the juice, then mix the pickles with all the other ingredients. My question is, if you discard the liquid, what liquid do you have/use when you put the pickles back in the jars?

I&#039;m confused.  Does this concoction of sugar, pickles, sauce, and pepper flakes create more juices or are they placed in jars without juice?  Sounds delicious and would like to try the recipe.
