1 jar pickles

Sugar

Red Pepper Flakes

Pour jar of pickles into a colander and discard the juice

Cut the ends off three pickles and slice pickles

Arrange in the empty pickle jar

Cover with 2 cups of sugar, pinch the red pepper flakes between thumb and forefinger and sprinkle over the sugar

Repeat until all pickles are gone, ending up with sugar and pepper flakes

Cover the top with plastic wrap, screw the lid on tightly

Place on a towel and roll back and forth to get the sugar started dissolving

Invert a time or two

Place on a towel in the refrigerator (in case jar leaks) and turn upside down every 2-3 days

After a week (if you’re in a hurry) you might taste them to see if they’re ready…10-14 days is preferred
