Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Texas Christmas Pickles.
Step 1
Begin by slicing the dill pickles lengthwise and returning them to their jar.
Step 2
Next, pour a generous amount of hot pepper sauce over the pickles, then sprinkle in the chopped garlic for an extra kick.
Step 3
Add about one-third of the sugar to the mix, sealing the jar tightly afterward.
Step 4
Gently tip the jar back and forth several times to ensure the ingredients blend harmoniously.
Step 5
Allow the jar to sit at room temperature for approximately one week, giving the flavors ample time to meld together.
Step 6
During this week, keep an eye on the sugar as it dissolves, adding more as needed and mixing gently after each addition.
Step 7
You'll notice the pickles transforming into a rich dark green while maintaining their delightful crunch.
Step 8
Before the pickles are ready for storage, inspect four 1-quart jars for any cracks and check the rings for rust, discarding any that are defective.
Step 9
To sterilize the jars, immerse them in simmering water for five minutes.
Step 10
Once sterilized, carefully transfer the pickles and their syrup into the jars, sealing them with lids and rings.
Step 11
Store your delicious creations in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to one month.
Step 12
Enjoy the journey of flavors as you savor these spicy, sweet pickles!.
