DIY Spicy Dill Pickles

Prep time

30

minutes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup distilled vinegar

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. kosher salt

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar

  • 1 Tbsp. coriander

  • 6 cloves garlic, halved

  • 2 cups water

  • 3 cucumbers, halved and then quartered lengthwise

  • 2 long green chili peppers, halved

  • 10 sprigs dill

Instructions

  • Combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, coriander, and garlic in a 1-qt. jar.
  • Place a lid on the jar and shake it until the salt and sugar dissolve.
  • In a pitcher, combine this brine with the water.
  • Fill the jar with the cucumber spears.
  • Slide the chili peppers and dill into the jar between the cucumber spears.
  • Pour the brine mixture over the pickle spears until the jar is full to the top.
  • Seal the jar and refrigerate for up to a month.

Notes

  • The longer the pickles sit, the more potent the dill and chili pepper flavors will be. For those with a low tolerance for spiciness, simply use 1 chili pepper instead of 2.
