KOOLICKLES
Make up a jar and keep them in your fridge. Strange though they are, these bright pink beauties are extraordinarily refreshing on a hot summer day. Full on sour dill and tasting of cherry. Tart but sweet. Adapted from Alton Brown's cookbook "Feasting on Asphalt" courtesy of the White Front Cafe, Rosedale, MS.

Steps:
- 1. Get a jar of dill pickles (not kosher, garlic + koolaide = not good eats). Take all the pickles out of the jar. Slice them in half lengthwise.
- 2. Take all the pickles out of the jar. Slice them in half lengthwise. You can use the spears or even the slices if you want to, I simply prefer to slice the whole ones.
- 3. Mix a half pound of sugar and two cherry koolaide packets into the brine.
- 4. Pickles go back in, then into the fridge for a week.
- 5. Note* you can use other flavors of Kool-aid if you want but cherry is the... umm.. traditional one. Well as much as you can say pickles and kool-aid go together that is.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, select cucumbers that are firm and have a deep green color. - When slicing the cucumbers, maintain a uniform thickness to ensure even pickling. - If you prefer a sweeter pickle, add more sugar to the brine. For a tangier pickle, add more vinegar. - For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers to the brine. - Experiment with different herbs and spices to create unique flavor combinations. Dill, garlic, and mustard seeds are popular choices. - Ensure the cucumbers are completely submerged in the brine to prevent spoilage. - Store the pickles in a cool and dark place, such as a refrigerator or pantry, to maintain their quality and flavor.Conclusion:
