im not a fan of sweet pickles, but i was talked into trying some made by Wickles. They quickly became my favorite. i shared with all my friends and my nurse practitioner friend called me and told me one of her patients brought her a jar of homemade Sweet & Hot pickles. Well, I just had to have her recipe, they are DELICIOUS. just the right amount of SPICE. and they are SEMI-HOMEMADE which made the recipe even BETTER.. a little time with a BIG reward.. YUMMY. My parents love them, most of my friends love them, even my brother who HATES sweet pickles, really Liked these and had to have a jar.:)

How To Make sweet & spicy dill pickles

Step 1

FILL pot for processing and keep at a low boil while preparing if your going to do the RAPID COOL and process the same day.. Pour pickle juice into a bowl and keep to the side. slice all the pickles into 1/2-3/4 inch chunks.

Step 2

add 3/4 of the pickle juice to a large boiler and then add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Bring to boil, Turn off the heat and stir until all the sugar is dissolved.
Step 3

Remove from heat and cool completely. If you want to Rapid Cool, pour into LARGE bowl surrounded by Ice Water in sink.
Step 4

Add sliced pickles to Jars and Add 1 Ladle of liquid to each jar, and repeat process until the liquid is split evenly between all jars. That way if you need a little more Juice, you can add the left over pickle juice to fill Jars to ¼” from top of jar.
