Can I reprocess pickles that I have canned?
They are sweet watermelon rind pickles and the juice is not as thick as I would like.

As I understand it (and I've made preserves many years), it's nit safe to process pickles twice and store at room temperature.
Rather, keep the once-processed pickles sealed at room temp.
Then, as you open each jar, cook the liquid down and/or add ingredients that will help thicken it, then store that one
re-cooked jar in the fridge as you eat it down.
Rinse and repeat.
Then maybe look for another recipe that gives thicker results when you make a new batch next season.
