  1. DO NOT throw out that pickle juice. it works better than gatorade and has many other uses!!!!
     
  2. Please don't throw out the original dill juice, try soaking blanched green beans (I'm gonna try canned someday) overnight. We love these these beans thrown in a salad.
     
  3. I'm sorry. I love pickles, so does my youngest DS. It tasted like cough syrup, with a really bad after taste. Yes, I let this sit several days in the fridge prior to sampling. This was one of those rare recipes at Zaar that I cannot tweak and cannot make again.
     
  4. We have made these for years in Texas. We use the original pickle juice and add sugar to your liking. When the pickles are gone we add more pickles or pickle slice (which take a lot less time to “set”. Sells like crazy here. Can make $1 to $4 per pickle for fundraiser for the kids.
     
  5. Haha I love Kool Aid Pickles! I use a little less sugar and kool Aid though. I will also use any variety of the red mix that (cherry, strawberry, punch) that appeals to me at the moment.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Live in central Oklahoma. I am very happily married (10 yrs 6/5/00) and have 1 son and a DDIL I love to cook and to bake; however, my DH is a finicky eater, if it's not meat and potatoes, he won't eat it. His line is "I'd rather drink my own bath water". LOL but my DS and DDIL love my cooking, especially my shrimp recipe which is one I got off of zaar!!! It was a hit at the wedding rehearsal dinner. I am coming up on the eighth anniversary of my liver transplant - July 5th. I can never thank my donor's family enough for the wonderful gift I received. Please be an organ donor. It is the most unselfish act that you can ever give. src="http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/Wedding281.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w161.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/efb8b7f3.pbw" height="360" width="480"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_logo.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w161.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/efb8b7f3.pbw" height="360" width="480"/embeda href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_logo.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" /aa href="http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/?action=view¤t=efb8b7f3.pbw" target="_blank"img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_viewshow.gif" style="float:right;border-width: 0;" /aa href="http://photobucket.com/slideshow?action=landing" target="_blank"img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_getyourown.gif" style="float:right;border-width: 0;" /a/divhref="http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/?action=view¤t=efb8b7f3.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_viewshow.gif" style="float:right;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshow?action=landing" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_getyourown.gif" style="float:right;border-width: 0;" ></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/Picture475.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w161.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/1173218542.pbw" height="360" width="480"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_logo.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t219/ppprincess54/?action=view¤t=1173218542.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_viewshow.gif" style="float:right;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshow?action=landing" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/album/slideshow/wrapper_getyourown.gif" style="float:right;border-width: 0;" ></a> These are my furbabies, Skeeter, Harley, Ramses and Mikey Michelle.
