Kool Aid: It's not just for hair dye anymore...



There I was doing a simple little Google search for the Kool Aid Man. You know the little "suggestions" that pop up while you're typing in your search?? The 2nd one read "kool aid pickles"

Aroo??? (insert Scooby Doo sound here)

Of course curiosity got the better of me, and I had to click on the search. It led me to this recipe:

1 (46-ounce) jar whole dill pickles
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
2 packets red Kool-Aid (such as cherry flavored)

Directions
Drain and discard the juice from the pickle jar. Remove the pickles from the jar and cut each one in half lengthwise. Return the pickles to the jar and set aside.
In a large measuring cup, combine the sugar, water and Kool-Aid. Mix until the sugar has completely dissolved. Pour enough of the liquid into the pickle jar to cover the pickles. Discard any excess.
Cover the jar and refrigerate at least 24 hours.
Makes one 46-ounce jar of pickles.



Well, of course I had to try it! Even though it really does sound gross- it's easy, and the pickles were on sale so I figured what the heck? Blog fodder, right??? Lol :) They are looking rather like a science experiment at the moment. I'll update tomorrow.

That sounds like something I would do! I'm always up for doing something strange or different. I'm going to the next post to see what happened. LOL
