How to Make Simple Hot And Spicy Pickles

  1. Wash and sterilize your chosen container (gallon jar or large bowl).
  2. Combine 2 cups thinly sliced cucumbers, 1 cup thinly sliced onions, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 red chili peppers (finely minced, adjust to taste), 1/2 cup pickling salt, and 1/4 cup sugar in your prepared container.
  3. Pour 2 cups of white vinegar over the mixture, ensuring all vegetables are submerged.
  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  5. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  6. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 3 days, stirring occasionally. You'll see the cucumbers start to pickle and soften.
  7. After 3 days, transfer the pickles to an airtight container and refrigerate for optimal flavor and preservation.
