Pickles

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brine

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and Kool-Aid powder. Stir until the sugar and Kool-Aid are well mixed. This will create the sweet and colorful brine for your pickles.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring continuously until all the sugar and Kool-Aid powder are dissolved. You should have a vibrant, sweet liquid.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pickles

    If using whole pickles, slice them into spears or quarters to ensure they soak up the flavor better. If using spears, leave them as they are.

  4. 4

    Combine Pickles and Brine

    Place the prepared pickles in a large glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the Kool-Aid brine over the pickles, ensuring they are fully submerged.

  5. 5

    Seal and Refrigerate

    Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. For best results, let them sit for 3-5 days, shaking the jar occasionally to mix the brine.
