My mother used to make her pickles this way. She would use hot peppers instead of the tabasco sauce.
1 | Gallon (jar) | Dill pickle slices |
5 | lbs. | Sugar |
1 1/4 | Oz. | Garlic flakes |
2 | Oz. | Tabasco sauce |
Drain pickles in a colander for at least 30 minutes, pressing out the juice. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, garlic flakes and tabasco sauce - mixing well. In a wide mouth gallon jar, tightly pack alternating layers of pickle chips and sugar mixture. Close lid tightly and set aside on counter. Every 24 hours for five days, turn the jar over. Divide into pint jars and seal. Chill before serving.
YIELD: 8 Pints
