Koolaid Pickles.

[BGKYSmoker]

I didnt cold smoke these this time.
Drain pickles (reserve the juice) I used sliced as they will pick up the liquid better.

You will need 2 packets of your fav koolaid and 3 T sugar. You can add more if you like.

Next mix the koolaid and sugar to the reserved pickle liquid.

Place pickles back in jar.

Pour kooljuice back in jar to cover pickles.

Lid back on and fridge for 5 days.

OK so the pickles will change color and taste like cool aid?

But...why?!

Please don't be offended, but is this an American thing to do? A regional thing? A crazy thing?
Do the pickles taste sweet afterwards?

I'm sort of intrigued and horrified all at the same time.

Interesting.
I'm not a fan of sweet pickles, but I'm betting my daughter will love this.
Thanks for sharing.

I tried these once. Pretty tasty!

LOL, I'm always willing to try something new, but I don't think I'm willing to actually do this myself. I'll wait until I get invited to a southern smoke out :)

They have an interesting flavor, but they surprisingly are actually pretty tasty. It's dirt cheap to make, grab a cheap jar of dills and a packet of koolaid and go to town!

Feel like you somewhat on this one. Kind of intrigued and horrified at the same time. Once I read it I figured it must be a southern thing. Don't ever remember hearing about it before now though. Sounds inexpensive enough to try though.

I am going to do this and sub out the Koolaid and sugar for Crystal Light. I am always up to try something new. I think I will also add some pickled jalapenos to the mix.

 

[gmc2003]

Wow they still sell Kool-aid. I haven't had that since the 70's.

Sounds a little Strange, but if Rick says it's good I'm willing to give it a Try!!

Thanks Rick!

Thanks y'all

I made them a few times, smoked the pickles once before adding the liquid back, pretty good.

Yeah koolaid packs are like 24 cents now. I remember when they were a nickel.

I haven't tried them yet. They do sound a bit bizarre. But I felt the same way when I first heard of deep fried pickles. After trying them I get them occasionally if I see them on a menu. I'll be giving the kool-aid pickles a try one day.

How about 2 for a nickel I'm a little older I guess.

Deep fried pickles, or Frickles are incredible Steve. You should make a batch one day. WAY better than any restaurant.

I might do that. You know of a decent recipe?

FRICKLES - FRIED PICKLES
1 bottle hamburger dill slices
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow corn meal
1 teaspoon BBQ rub
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup beer

Drain the pickles, and reserve the juice (it makes a great chicken brine). Combine beer and mustard in one bowl. Do the same with the flour, cornmeal, and rub in another. Dip pickles into beer/mustard slurry, and then into the cornmeal, flour, and rub mix. Shake off the excess and fry in 375 deg oil until golden.
