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: For the best results, select fresh, firm cucumbers that are about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Avoid cucumbers that are too large or have blemishes.
Prepare the cucumbers properly: Before pickling the cucumbers, wash them thoroughly and cut them into slices or spears, depending on your preference. If you are using whole cucumbers, make sure to pierce them with a fork to help the brine penetrate.
Make a flavorful brine: The brine is what gives the pickles their flavor, so it is important to make it right. Use a combination of water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices to create a brine that is both tangy and sweet. You can also add other ingredients like garlic, dill, or mustard seeds for extra flavor.
Pickle the cucumbers for the right amount of time: The pickling time will vary depending on the size of the cucumbers and the desired level of sourness. For best results, pickle the cucumbers for at least 24 hours, but no longer than 2 weeks.
Store the pickles properly: Once the pickles are done, store them in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months, so you can enjoy them whenever you like.

Conclusion:

Spicy refrigerator dill pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a batch of pickles that are sure to please everyone.
