CANDIED DILL PICKLES

My backwoods Mississippi grandmother loves to can her own sweet pickles! Here's how she does it! My grandmother stresses that you shouldn't leave them unrefrigerated for more than four or five hours, or they may not keep. She says it's easy and very good! My grandmother rotates the can by turning it upside down every other day, then back over. Within about a week, the pickles will be sweet and delicious!

These taste like "homemade" but with a fraction of the effort. I like to keep a jar of them in the refrigerator to add to tuna salad and sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Use fresh, firm pickling cucumbers for the best results.
  • Make sure the brine is strong enough: The brine should be strong enough to preserve the cucumbers, but not so strong that it overpowers the flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give the pickles the best flavor.
  • Let the pickles ferment for at least 2 weeks: The longer the pickles ferment, the better the flavor will be.
  • Canning is optional: You can can the pickles for longer storage, but it is not necessary.

Conclusion:

Candied crunchy dill pickle hunks are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they also make a great gift. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these sweet and tangy pickles all year long.
