Kool-Aid Pickles — Oh Yeah!
We've seen Kool-Aid pickles served with burgers at pretty much every food festival over the past year. The pros recognize that the sweet-sour-fruity-briny combo has a winning ability to quench one's thirst and cut through the fat of a rich burger.
The process is quite simple. Take your favorite dill pickle, and saturate it in Kool-Aid and sugar.
While the pickles can be consumed immediately, they are best if aged for a week to let that neon color and artificial flavor seep in.
You'll frighten and amaze your grilling buddies when you bust out a jar of these. But few can resist dipping their fingers in for a bright spear.
