Slice pickles into 3/4″ or 1″ rounds, drain again.
Into jar layer sliced pickles, peeled garlic, and sugar; add NO liquid.
Pour on the whole bottle of tabasco sauce, NOTE: I have used the 2oz size when I wanted a less spicy pickle and I think tabasco is the only brand of hot sauce to use in this recipe.
Add bottle of red OR green food coloring if desired.
Cap jar and shake.
Store in icebox and shake it daily to mix the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
In about a week you will have brightly colored,spicy pickles!
Recipe Notes
As these marinate over the week they shrink, so the yield will be less than a gallon.
