Use high-quality dill pickles for the best flavor. Avoid pickles with added garlic or other strong flavorings that may clash with the sweet spices. Turning the container regularly is crucial to prevent the sugar from settling at the bottom and to ensure even candying. If you prefer a less sweet pickle, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly. Start with a 4 pounds of sugar and adjust to taste. These candied dills can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks in an airtight container. Experiment with other spices such as star anise or cloves for a unique flavor profile.
