This makes a quart but you can multiply it to make a gallon.

I would like the recipe for making sweet pickles using a gallon jar of dill pickles. I'm sure someone out there has it. Thanks.

The Easiest Sweet Icebox Dill Pickles
1/3 cups wine vinegar
2 cups sugar
1 quart size jar, whole dill pickles

Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar melts. DRAIN dill pickles; cut into chunks. Put pickles back into jar. Pour vinegar and sugar mixture over pickles. Refrigerate 24 hours before using. NOTE: Vinegar and sugar mixture should cover all pickles in the jar.
