Awesome & Easy Sweet Pickles

• (32 ounce) jar sliced dill pickles↗1
• sugar↗2 cups
• white vinegar↗1 cup
• pickling spices2 tablespoons
• minced garlic1⁄2 teaspoon
• cinnamon stick↗1

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Completely drain the jar of dill pickles leaving pickles in the jar. Set aside.

2. 2

   Bring all other ingredients to a hard boil.

3. 3

   Immediately pour over the pickles in the jar.

4. 4

   Recap tightly and turn jar upside down and allow to cool. (This should reseal jar so that they can be stored indefinitely).

5. 5

   (I put all the spices, except for the garlic and the cinnamon stick, in a cheesecloth type bag. I press on the bag with a wooden spoon in vinegar/sugar mixture to get more flavor. It isn't necessary, but boiling the spices in a bag keeps them from floating around in the pickles).
