These pickles are NOT for the faint of heart. The brine will give you a nice kick. Perfect for burgers and hoagies. If you like pickled peppers, the same recipe can be used with peppers instead of pickles! They keep in the refrigerator for a few months.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups water
1 ½ cups white vinegar
2 peppers habanero peppers, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 serrano pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon pickling spice
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • Remove pot from the burner and let the liquid cool to a warm enough temperature to handle, but not to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes; you want the heat so it will soak into the veggies.

Spicy Refrigerator Dill Pickles image

Plan well ahead these need to chill for a minimum of 12 days, but use with a month, adjust the red pepper flakes to taste, the amount listed with give you mild heat, I use about 3 teaspoons for extreme heat! ----- you will need 12 cucumbers and three 1-1/2-pint wide mouth jars, you may double this recipe but make two separate recipes in two large bowls (12 cucumbers for each bowl) this recipe can also be made to process. These dill pickles are spicy with a hint of sweetness, and worth making :)

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Look for fresh, firm cucumbers that are free of blemishes and bruises. Pickling cucumbers are the best choice, as they have a higher ratio of flesh to seeds and a thinner skin.
  • Prepare the cucumbers properly: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut them into the desired shape. If using whole cucumbers, remove the blossom end. If using spears, cut the cucumbers into 2-3 inch pieces. If using chips, cut the cucumbers into 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • Make a flavorful brine: The brine is what gives the pickles their flavor, so it's important to make it flavorful. Use a combination of white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pickling spices. You can also add other ingredients to the brine, such as garlic, onion, dill, or red pepper flakes.
  • Pack the cucumbers and brine into jars: Pack the cucumbers and brine into clean glass jars. Leave about 1 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  • Process the pickles: If you want to keep the pickles for more than a few weeks, you need to process them. This can be done by boiling the jars in a water bath canner for a specified amount of time. The processing time will vary depending on the size of the jars and the type of pickles.
  • Let the pickles cool and cure: Once the pickles have been processed, let them cool and cure for at least 2 weeks before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Spicy dill pickles are a delicious and versatile snack or condiment. They can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads or sandwiches, or used as a garnish for cocktails. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own spicy dill pickles at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy snack, give these pickles a try!
