Recipe(tried): Hot Sweet Pickles - Wickles? (using bottled dill pickle slices)

My grandmother made these and kept them in the fridge for use in tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, etc. They're not exactly totally homemade, but they're fantastic and keep a loooong time in the fridge...

1 (24 oz.) jar dill pickle slices (hamburger dills)
1 cup sugar
1 small bottle Tabasco sauce

Drain the pickles and put into a glass bowl. Add the sugar and Tabasco and stir. Cover with plastic wrap and leave overnight on the counter. (Makes its own syrup) They're ready when they look "clear."

I put them back into the washed/dried original pickle jar, and put them in the refrigerator.

They go pretty fast, but I've used them three or four months later and they're still perfect.
