My mom's delicious pickles, a Christmas tradition, are quick and easy to make since they start with a jar of purchased dill pickles and then are just "dressed up." They would make a nice gift from the kitchen in a pretty glass jar.—Denise Bitner, Reedsville, Pennsylvania
1 jar (32 ounces) whole kosher dill pickles, drained
1-1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon celery seed
Directions
Cut pickles into 1/2-in. slices; return to the jar. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and shake until coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 week, shaking occasionally. Serve with a slotted spoon.

do you add water since you drain them?
