Ingredients

2 (32 ounce) jars dill pickles
4 cups white sugar, divided
0.5 cup distilled white vinegar
0.5 cup water
1 tablespoon pickling spice

Instructions

Drain the dill pickles. Slice them into ¼-inch pieces and place them in a bowl. Stir in 2 cups of sugar, cover the bowl, and set aside at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
Combine the remaining 2 cups of sugar, vinegar, water, and pickling spice in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Pour the sweet brine over the pickles and set aside at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
While the pickles are marinating, inspect glass canning jars for any cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse the jars in simmering water until the pickles are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
Pack the pickles tightly in the sterilized jars. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Store the sweet dill pickles in the refrigerator. Serve chilled.
