Mom’s Recipe – Fire & Ice Pickles

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 1 qt. jar of dill pickle slices or spears
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsps. hot pepper sauce (such as Texas Pete or Tabasco)
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 small garlic cloves, peeled

Drain the pickles and discard the brine. Save jar. In a large glass bowl, combine all ingredients except the garlic. Mix well, cover and let stand 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Spoon into jar and add garlic cloves. Cover and refrigerate 1 week before serving.

These are great. You can, of course, vary the heat either way. You can get the whole pickles and cut them up as desired.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
