1 32 - 46oz. jar whole non-Kosher dill pickles
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cider vinegar
Recipe
Discard pickle liquid.
Slice pickles 1/4 to 1/2" thick.
Put half of slices in a jar and sprinkle with 1 c. of the sugar.
Put other half of of slices in jar and sprinkle with the other 1 c. sugar.
Put Jar into a large bowl, in case it leaks. Turn jar every now and then. Let stand at room temperature overnight or 5 - 6 hours until the sugar has dissolved.
Add vinegar and stir up.
Refrigerate for 12 hours.
Good idea to shake and turn jar over a couple of times.
This cold method produces a crisper pickle because the sugar draws liquid from the pickles.
