Best 2 Candied Dills Recipes
Candied dills are a sweet and tangy treat that can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They are easy to make and only require a few ingredients. The process of making candied dills involves coating fresh dill pickles in a sugar syrup and then allowing them to dry. This results in a pickle that is both sweet and crunchy, with a slightly sour flavor. Candied dills are often used to garnish cocktails or desserts, but they can also be eaten on their own. They are a popular treat at fairs and festivals, and they can also be found in some specialty food stores.

GRANDMA'S CANDIED DILLS
Mom has made these for as long as I can remember. Everybody loves them. Kids call Mom (whether they're ours or not) Grandma. They come in the house and head for the refrigerator hunting for "Grandma's Pickles". Hence the name. I get the pickling spice from an Amish grocery store. Very easy to make and very tasty.

Steps:
- 1. Buy the cheapest brand of dill pickles (pickles now come in 30 oz. jars instead of the old 32 oz. size) and drain (discard the juice that you drain off). Put into a bowl and add the sugar. With a wooden spoon stir.
- 2. Keep stirring from time to time until a syrup begins to rise and the sugar dissolves. Leave the bowl on the counter top (this step will take about 5-6 hours). When syrup has risen, add the Frank's Hot Sauce and stir.
- 3. Put slices from 2 cloves of garlic in the bottom of the pickle jar, add the pickles, then slices from 2 more cloves of garlic on top of the pickles. Pour the syrup over the pickles and then put the pickling bag on top. Put on lid and then refrigerate. After 24 hours remove the bag of pickling spices and discard. The pickles get real crispy.
- 4. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!
- 5. Pat's Note: I put the spices in a coffee filter, twist the top of the coffee filter closed and tie it with a twist tie (like you get on a loaf of bread). Handy and easy.
Tips:
- Use fresh pickling cucumbers for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose cucumbers that are firm and free of blemishes.
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly before using.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into even slices.
- Follow the recipe carefully, especially regarding the amount of vinegar and sugar used.
- Use a clean, airtight container to store the candied dills.
- Store the candied dills in a cool, dark place.
- Candied dills will keep for several months if stored properly.
