1 gal. sliced hamburger dills, drain all liquids & discard
5 lb. bag of sugar (use all except for about 2 inches in bottom of bag)
1 sm. bottle of Tabasco (use all but 1 inch)
4 fresh garlic pods, cut up fine

After mixing all ingredients in large bowl, put back in jar with lid on tight. Turn jar upside down frequently until sugar is dissolved. Usually takes 24 hours. Put in clean pint jars with tight lids. Ready to eat in 2 days. Will keep up to 3 or 4 months without sealing. Makes great gifts - especially at Christmas time in baskets.
