Remove the pickles from the jar and slice them 1/2" thick. I used a crinkle cutter for this, but you can use a knife.

Place slices in large bowl.

Pour juice from the jar over the slices.

Add remaining ingredients and stir with a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

Let them sit on the counter covered with wax paper for 24 hours, stirring 6-7 times during the 24 hours.

Put pickles back in the jar and pour as much juice as will fit over the top of the pickles.

Store in the fridge.
