TEXAS CHRISTMAS PICKLES
These spicy/sweet pickles are a Texas tradition. My mother and I have made these delectable pickles for Christmas every year since I was young. We separate each batch into smaller jars and give them as gifts to friends and family. I would hate to think what would happen if we skipped a year!!

Steps:
- Drain the brine from the pickles and discard. Slice pickles lengthwise, and return them to the jar. Pour in the hot pepper sauce, and add the garlic. Pour in about 1/3 of the sugar. Close the lid tightly. Gently tip the jar back and forth several times to allow everything to mix well. Leave out on the counter at room temperature for about 1 week.
- During the week, add more sugar as the sugar in the jar dissolves. Gently tip the jar back and forth to mix. Continue the process throughout the week, until you have used up all of the sugar. When all of the sugar has been absorbed, pickles will be dark green and crispy. Transfer pickles to smaller sterile jars, and divide syrup between jars. Seal with lids and rings. Store in the refrigerator, and consume within one month.

CHRISTMAS PICKLES
A dear family friend made these pickles for decades. I've adapted the recipe a bit over the years, but in my heart they are still "Dr. Rhodes' pickles." These morsels are delicious any time of year, but the green, red and white hues of the pickles, cherries and onions make them ideal for Christmas gift-giving-and it's a tasty twist on the classic Christmas pickle tradition. -Patricia Martin, Shelby

Steps:
- Drain brine from the pickles and discard. Slice pickles lengthwise and return to the jar (I buy dill pickles already sliced). Pour in hot sauce and add garlic. Pour in about 1/3 of the sugar. Close the lid tightly. Gentle tip the jar back and forth several times to allow everything to mix well. Leave out on the counter at room temperature for about 1 week. During the week add more sugar whenever all the sugar in jar has dissolved. Gently tip back and forth to mix well. Do this each day until all the sugar has been added. When the sugar has completely dissolved the pickles will be dark green and crispy. Transfer to smaller sterile jars and divide syrup between jars. Seal with lids and rings. Store in refrig and consume in a month. Note: I sometimes buy a quart and reduce the other ingredients accordingly. I place into Ball plastic jars with green screw on tops.
SPICY CHRISTMAS PICKLES (NO COOK)
These are an easy icebox pickle that are spicy and sweet and stays crisp. Why are they called Christmas pickles? Because they are bright green or red!!! I usually make green and red to liven up the holiday relish tray. I also make these pickles without the food coloring and they are a family favorite throughout the year. I found the recipe years ago in a local electric co-op magazine.

Steps:
- Drain pickles and rinse gallon jar.
- 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!
- Note: as these marinate over the week they shrink, so the yield will be less than a gallon.

GRANDMA LAVONNE'S CHRISTMAS PICKLES
This is a wonderful recipe that was passed down from my grandma to my mom and now to me. There is a lot of work involved, but they are SO worth it!! These are sweet and crunchy...many good memories every time I bite into one. I have never had a pickle anywhere, store bought or homemade, that even comes close.
