Buy a jar of Kosher Dills. Drain all the brine off and discard. Add 1 cup white granulated sugar and replace the lid tightly. Lay the jar on side in the refrigerator. Once a day, turn the jar. In a week, you'll have great pickles. (Brine can be kept for flavoring potato salad or brining cooked veggies such as brussel sprouts, carrots, cauliflower or even hard boiled eggs)
PS: after brine is drained off and before sugar is added, the pickles need to be cut into thick chunks. Sorry about forgetting that step.
