sweet fire pickles

Post by casadekitty »

My family loves these:

1 jar of bread and butter slices ....I use Aldi's
1 scant cup sugar
1 clove garlic cut in 2 pieces
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes ....depends on your comfort level of heat.

Drain pickle juice into a saucepan, add the rest of listed ingredients, bring to a low boil stirring once in a while, simmer 5 minutes and then take out the garlic if you are not a garlic lover...pour back over the pickle slices recap with the lid, turn jar upside down on a towel and the jar will probably reseal itself. Let the pickles set a day of longer to get flavored up and then enjoy. Store in fridge.

The longer they set the hotter they get so keep that in mind. :lol:

Greetings Kitty!

I made your Sweet Fire Pickles about a week or two ago. I used the full teaspoon of red pepper flakes. My first taste I thought, Oh, those are nice and sweet, and then the heat hit. Just PERFECT!! I love them!

Now a question. Do you use the leftover juice when the pickles are gone for any other purpose? The last pickled egg recipe for me didn't turn out to be that good. I wondered how this would work and would you heat up the juice to pour over the eggs? Or any other use?

MJ,
I use pickled beet juice to pickle eggs, however....the DD said she was going to trying mixing this pickle juice with the beet juice and see what happens...will let you know.

I use this leftover juice to marinate chicken before breading or grilling. Supposedly Chik-fil-a uses pickle juice to marinate theirs so I figured why not try it.
