These spicy-sweet pickles are a Texas tradition. My mother and I have made these delectable pickles for Christmas every year since I was young. We separate each batch into smaller jars and give them as gifts to friends and family. I would hate to think what would happen if we skipped a year!
Ingredients
- 1 gallon dill pickles, drained
- 1 (5 ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 (5 pound) bag of white sugar
Directions
Step 1
Slice pickles lengthwise, then return to the jar. Pour in hot pepper sauce and add garlic. Pour in about 1/3 of the sugar. Close the lid tightly, then gently tip the jar back and forth several times to allow everything to mix well. Leave the jar on the counter at room temperature for about 1 week.
Step 2
Add more sugar during the week as the sugar in the jar dissolves, gently tipping the jar back and forth to mix after each addition. Continue throughout the week, until all sugar has been added and absorbed; pickles will be dark green and crispy.
Step 3
Just before the pickles are ready, inspect four 1-quart jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer pickles and syrup to sterilized jars and seal with lids and rings. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Tips
You can also use this same process with jalape?o peppers, just omit the hot pepper sauce. The result is sweet-hot jalape?os.
