Buckhorn Pickles

[Papa Tom]

This recipe comes along with the name from a tavern in south Texas that served these along with their BBQ. The tavern is long lost to history but the recipe lives.

One gallon of whole sour pickles (suggest Best Made Brand sour pickles Available at Walmart)
One four pound bag of sugar (2.5# for less sweet)
One two ounce bottle of Red Pepper sauce like Tabasco or Trappys
One twelve ounce can of jalapeno slices


Drain the pickles and discard the sour brine.

Cut the pickles into slices or spears or whatever suits you.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, Red Pepper sauce and the juice from the jalapenos.

Alternately spoon sugar mixture and pickle & jalepeno slices back into the jar untill it's all in there which takes a little pushin' and
packin' towards the end.

During the next couple of hours, turn the jar over every few minutes to agitate the sugar and help it disolve.

The pickles will give up enough new brine to totally disolve the sugar over the next couple of hours. Stick'em in the 'fridge
and in a couple of days they'll be ready!

They should stay refrigerated when not actually gettin scarfed!

Great!!!! I have been making these pickles for years. My old buddy Chuck Cooke introduced me to this recipe that he got from a bar in Ingleside, Texas where he worked at Oxi Chem. The boys would often go have a few beers after a long shift where these pickles were served on the counter for the customers to enjoy. The owner of the bar had a stack of recipe cards next to the jar for all to take home and enjoy. I make them a few times a year and they are indeed the best pickles for BBQ I have ever tasted. My old friend Chuck passed away in 2007 from a rare form of cancer at the young age of 46 and I always thank him whenever I make these great pickles!
