HOT, SWEET, DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• 1. Drain the pickles, leaving the pickles in the original jar and saving the lid to reseal the jar with. Pour bottle of Tabasco sauce into jar with pickles. Dump the whole 5 lb. bag of white sugar over the Tabasco and pickles. Reseal the jar.
• 2. This takes several days to complete. Keep turning the jar upside down, sideways, just keep moving the jar every time you go past it. I store it on the counter top during this phase. Eventually the sugar will dissolve and it will seep into the pickles along with the Tabasco sauce.
• 3. Once the sugar has dissolved completely you can use the pickles. We cut them in chunks. Good to eat along with other cut vegetables, olives, cheese chunks, you get the idea. Enjoy!

SWEET & HOT DILL PICKLES

• Drain the pickles, discarding the juice. Slice the pickles into 1 to 2 inch chunks and return to pickle jar.

• Seal the jar and shake until sugar dissolves. Let stand at room temperature for 13 days, shaking the jar 1 to 2 times per day. On day 14 put the jar in refrigerator until ready to serve.

SWEET AND HOT CURRIED ZUCCHINI PICKLES

Steps:

• In a large nonreactive bowl, combine the zucchini, onions, chiles, and salt, and let them stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse twice to remove the salt, then add the raisins and set aside.
• In a medium nonreactive saucepan, bring all the remaining ingredients, except the ginger, to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the hot liquid over the squash mixture; the squash should be totally covered. Add the ginger to the squash mixture, allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
• These pickles will develop a wonderful flavor within a couple hours of being refrigerated and will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for 3 to 4 weeks. Enjoy!
