Instructions
Drain all the pickle juice from the jar into a bowl and set it aside. Remove the pickles from the jar.
1 46-ounce jar whole dill pickles
Into that pickle jar (or any mason jar), pour 1/2 cup of reserved pickle juice, as well as the white vinegar, sugar, and pickling spice.
1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup pickle juice from the jar, 3 cups sugar, 1 heaping tablespoon pickling spice
Put the lid on tightly and give it a good shake. Sugar will not be dissolved but that is okay.
Slice whole pickles into slices, thick or thin, based on your preference. Return sliced pickles to the jar.

Place the lid on the jar and shake again. Set it out on the counter for a few hours, turning upside down every hour or so, and then right side up again the next hour. Place pickles in the refrigerator after a few hours. Allow them to marinate for about three days for full flavor.
