In reply to Kenneth Clark. Is this horseradish or horseradish sauce? What brand do you prefer? Also it says to set for 4 days... I assume you mean to refrigerate them correct?

In reply to Dave Veith. The pickles give off a significant amount of liquid when they sit in the sugar mixture. There will be plenty!

Rebecca,
I have been a loyal reader for a couple years now. I’ve made a LOT of your recipes and tell others all the time about your site! I plan to try these pickles they sound great! I’m always bragging about how humerous your intros are! I’m not sure how to submit a recipe but I have one I can almost gaurantee you and others will LOVE and it’s easy! They are OMG Good! So I’ll post it here.
1 large jar kosher dills cut in quarters (Foodie better get 2-4 🙂 I use Mt olive
1 med onion sliced into rings (after marinating great as is or on burgers salads ect)
1 1/2 cups vinegar
1 T prepared mustard (I’ve also used Dijon or powderd Colemans)
3 garlic cloves pressed
2 cups water
1 5oz bottle horseradish mild
Mix together in the empty jar and add pickles
Let stand for 3-4 days (they actually are very good after 1 day 🙂

I realize this is an old post but wanted to say “thank you!” for this recipe. I made this at Christmas 2012 for my mom who shares my love of sweet-fired foods. They were a hit.

Pixen, I do believe you’re right. I like the over kill, though 🙂 I hope you enjoyed the pickles…

hahahh I love Mr Bean.. If not mistaken … the joke was that it sounds like he said ‘Christmas Sucks’ instead of Christmas Socks… But at times he’s a bit over killing. I love your recipe for the pickles! Thank you for sharing 🙂
