A faster way to make crisp sweet bread and butter pickle with plenty of flavor.
Ingredients
1 gallon jar Classic Kosher Whole Dill Pickles
5 - 6 cups sugar
6 pods of garlic sliced
Directions
Drain all of the juice in the gallon jar of pickes. Discard.
Slice the whole pickles into 1/4 inch coins.
Return the pickles to the jar in the following manner; for every 2 to 3 inch layer of pickles, add 1/2 cup sugar making sure the pickles are covered with sugar. Add the garlic and distribute as you make the layers.
Seal and start to enjoy two weeks later.
Note there is no juice added to the pickles. The sugar added will draw the liquid out of the pickles, in turn will dilute the sugar and make its own juice.
A nice savings with a little effort and sugar can be calculated here. A large gallon jar (8 pints) of pickles cost three dollars; a small pint jar of sweet pickles is $1.75.
