TEXAS CHRISTMAS PICKLES

?


Yields 1 gallon pickles

• 1-gallon jar of dill pickles

• 2-ounce bottle of Tabasco sauce

• 3 cloves garlic, chopped

• 5-pound bag of sugar

Drain all juice from pickles and discard.

Slice pickles lengthwise and place in jar. Add Tabasco sauce and garlic. Add about 1/3 of the sugar. Screw lid back on jar tightly, so no juice will leak out. Gently tip jar back and forth several times to allow sugar, Tabasco sauce and garlic to mix with pickles. Leave on counter at room temperature about a week. As sugar dissolves, add more until all sugar is used. With each addition, gently tip jar back and forth to allow sugar and spices to mix. When all sugar is absorbed, pickles will be dark green and crispy.
