Killer Spicy Garlic Dill Pickles

Print Recipe

A flavorful and healthy snack, these homemade spicy garlic dill pickles are perfect for meal prep and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds pickling cucumbers, sliced into spears
  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons pickling salt
  • 2 tablespoons dried dill weed
  • 4 Thai red peppers or other spicy chili such as habanero
  • 8 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers with the pickling salt. Let them sit for 1 hour.
  2. Rinse the cucumbers well to remove the excess salt and then drain them.
  3. In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, water, and the remaining pickling salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. In sterilized jars, layer the cucumbers, adding the dried dill weed, smashed garlic cloves, and Thai red peppers as you go.
  5. Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged, with about ½ inch of headspace at the top of the jars.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal them with their lids. Allow the jars to cool to room temperature.
  7. Once the jars have cooled, place them in the refrigerator. For best flavor, let the pickles marinate for at least 48 hours before enjoying.

Notes

These pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Always keep them submerged in brine to maintain their crunch.
