Dry the pickles before proceeding with the candying process.

In a saucepan, combine 4 cups of sugar and some water.

Add corn syrup to the mixture in the saucepan.

Heat the mixture on the stove until it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally.

Once the mixture reaches 300 degrees, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
