How to Make Garlicky Hot Chilli Pickles

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound pickling cucumbers. Pack them tightly, standing upright, into a clean 1-quart mason jar, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace.
  2. Add 2-3 serrano peppers (adjust to your spice preference), thinly sliced, and 4-6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed, around the cucumbers in the jar.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon pickling salt, and 1 teaspoon pickling spice. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  4. Carefully pour the boiling brine over the cucumbers and seasonings in the jar, leaving that 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rim clean, secure the lid tightly, and allow to cool completely on the counter.
  5. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 48 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop. Enjoy!
