Easy-peasy spicy, sweet pickles

This easy-peasy spicy and sweet pickles recipe includes dill pickles marinated in a sweet, spicy, and tangy brine made with sugar, pickling spice, and white vinegar.

Ingredients

• 1 46-ounce jar whole dill pickles
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup pickle juice from the jar
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 heaping tablespoon pickling spice

Instructions

1. Drain all the pickle juice from the jar into a bowl and set it aside. Remove the pickles from the jar.
2. Into that pickle jar (or any mason jar), pour 1/2 cup of reserved pickle juice, as well as the white vinegar, sugar, and pickling spice.
3. Put the lid on tightly and give it a good shake. Sugar will not be dissolved but that is okay.
4. Slice whole pickles into slices, thick or thin, based on your preference. Return sliced pickles to the jar.
5. Place the lid on the jar and shake again. Set it out on the counter for a few hours, turning upside down every hour or so, and then right side up again the next hour. Place pickles in the refrigerator after a few hours. Allow them to marinate for about three days for full flavor.
