I patiently waited the full suggested time frame. First one out looked like this - and as you can see the once green dill pickle turned red. I ate it and I think I loved it even though it was a tad more sweet than I like. OTOH a red pickle is a cool or KOOL thing to serve at least in chunks as some form of hors d'oeuvre on a fancy toothpick as a mini-veggie-ka-bob. Next jar I will cut the sugar back to say 3/4 cup. BUT don't worry  - this recipe is a keeper for the sake of something cool or KOOL and different to serve guests!

    These might be good with "zesty" or spicy pickles.  I think zesty is a trade name...

    I was thinking something more contrasting with my new favorite pickles from these jars!

    "again"? That is an operative word! What didn't you like? Care to share what Kool-Aid flavor you used that may have turned you off?

    Ron, it made a cool looking pickle if nothing else.

    I liked them, as well.  I am not the patient wise man RRP is, therefore after 1 week I began enjoying them. Also, I used the 1-gallon size jar.

    I honestly do like the taste and I really like the expression on folks' face when they are served or even just told about Koolickles !!!!

    I'm glad yours turned out great RRP!!  and thanks again paqman for sharing.

    Try to chop a few of them and mix with mayo.  It is an interesting burger topping.

    It's been years since I made them. I first saw them on an Alton Brown show made in Mississippi. I don't recall if he gave a recipe, or if I found one on the web.
    I seem to remember the pickles being too sweet for my taste.
    I used cherry flavor.
    I bet using a base pickle that is more zesty would hold up to the cherry flavor better.
