Thursday, September 16, 2004 @ 6:26 AM Hot Sour Pickles

Ingredients:
1 gallon jar Sour Pickles
1/2 box cloves
4 lbs. sugar
1 head garlic (peeled & sectioned)
1 large jar of salsa

Directions:
Drain pickle juice from the jar of pickles. Slice the pickles crosswise into 1/2" - 3/4" thick wedges. You will then start layering the pickles, then sugar, then cloves, then garlic sections, then the salsa making about 4 layers in the 1 gallon pickle jar. For 7 days leave the jar on the counter and (making sure the lid is on tight) flip jar over and leave resting on the lid. Flip the jar every day from top to bottom. After the seven days on the counter, Refrigerate for 7 more days still flipping the jar.

*Info: Don't let the name of these pickles fool you! They are great! The level hotness depends on which kind of salsa you use. The hotter the salsa, the hotter the pickle! This recipe was given to me by my friend Lynn and they are terrific!
