Flavor: Zesty dill brine with a lightly sweetened balance that stays bright and icy.
Prep Note: Be sure to fully dissolve the sugar to keep the popsicles from being gritty.
Tools: Popsicle sleeves (my personal fav!) or any basic popsicle mold will work for this recipe.
Freezing: Freezes solid in 6 to 8 hours and stores well all season.

Pickle Basics

Dill Pickle Juice: Use the juice from your favorite jar of pickles; strain it if it contains lots of herbs or garlic pieces for a smoother popsicle.
Dill Pickle: Grated pickle adds texture and keeps the popsicles from freezing solid. Use refrigerated deli pickles for extra crunch.
Sugar: Helps balance the tang and improves texture. Add more or less depending on the brine’s saltiness.
Variations: Swap in spicy dill pickle juice for a kick, or use bread-and-butter pickle juice for a sweeter pop. Omit grated pickles if you prefer a smoother, firmer texture. Want to warm things up for winter? Add a splash of hot sauce, a pinch of tajín, or chili powder.

Ingredients to make pickle popsicles combined in a jar

Chill the brine before freezing to help the dill pickle popsicles set evenly.
Taste the mixture first; every brand of brine has different salt and tang levels.
If using popsicle sleeves as I do, freeze them on a flat tray so they’ll keep their shape.
Include grated pickles to add bursts of flavor and prevent them from hardening too much.
If your freezer runs cold, let the pops sit at room temperature for a minute before serving.

Freeze, Store & Enjoy

Freeze pops in airtight sleeves or molds for up to 2 months. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer bag and serve straight from the freezer. If the popsicles are stuck in the molds, release them by running warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds.
