AWESOME & EASY SWEET PICKLES

Steps:

• Completely drain the jar of dill pickles leaving pickles in the jar. Set aside.
• Bring all other ingredients to a hard boil.
• Immediately pour over the pickles in the jar.
• Recap tightly and turn jar upside down and allow to cool. (This should reseal jar so that they can be stored indefinitely).
• (I put all the spices, except for the garlic and the cinnamon stick, in a cheesecloth type bag. I press on the bag with a wooden spoon in vinegar/sugar mixture to get more flavor. It isn't necessary, but boiling the spices in a bag keeps them from floating around in the pickles).
