Hot-Sweet Pickles

Empty pickles into a bowl, (do not use a metal one). Clean out and wash the pickle jar and dry that outfit good. Wipe pickles clean and cut in slices, crossways. In the clean pickle jug, layer the pickle slices, then sugar, then Tabasco, and so on, until all is in the jug. Cover and let set about 3 days. Be sure the pickles and jug are clean before layering.

Patsy Waltrip makes this same recipe, but adds 13 - 18 sliced garlic cloves. Patsy Waltrip layers 15 - 18 sliced garlic pods with the pickle slices, and puts up the pickles in several jars after 5 days.
