I’m making Kool aid pickles because of this thread
None of the recipes I found online specify whether to adjust the amount of sugar for the way-less-than-full-batch amount of liquid that comes in the pickle jar
This much sugar won’t even dissolve in this little liquid
They’re brining for a week

Please tell us how they taste.

I have two things to say about this:
1) Why would you do that to yourself?????????
2) Godspeed, we'll see you on the other side.
All right, I'll give you the whole pickle scoop
First of all, I had to nest the pickle jar in a ziploc bag because somewhere in the process I had gotten it to be drippy and stainy
Second of all, I couldn't wait the full week before trying these, it's been like five days
Third of all, they're tropical punch flavor, because the only other option was lemonade and sour lemon flavor plus sour pickle flavor felt like cheating
Oh, and the pickles are spears
So, the pickle I extracted was Unnatural Red (and as I took a photo of it to show my roommate, since I was propping the pickle on my leg, I made sure to specify "this is not an open wound, this is a kool aid pickle")
I bite the pickle
My roommate texts back to tell me not to eat drippy stainy kool aid pickle in the bed. It's too late.
The pickle has what I'd call too much kool aid and not enough pickle. Possibly because we're looking at a full cup of sugar in, like a half-full jar
And there's a surprise on the inside! The red color has only gotten through PART of the pickle!! The part closest to the skin is still green, while the cut parts of the spear are that bright unnatural red.
In truth, it reminds me of my favorite thing on Flight Rising, Primal Plague Eyes
