This is a recipe from my mother and it makes the best sweet pickles and I am pretty particular. This easy-to-make recipe takes only a few ingredients and 30 minutes to make. They are the perfect combination of sweet and tart with a satisfying crunch.
All you need for this recipe is the 80oz jar of whole dill pickles, I prefer Vlassic, apple cider vinegar, white sugar, and celery seed. Drain the pickles, rinse, and cut into 1 1/2 inch slices and place them back in the jar. Then add the white sugar and vinegar together in a small pot and bring to a boil stirring until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is translucent. Let this cool and then pour over the pickles in the jar and place in the fridge. Then let them sit in the fridge for a week to really season the pickle slices. I put a date on the jar so we remember when they are ready to enjoy.
