Ingredients

• 10 small cucumbers Pickling cucumbers
• 3 cups White vinegar
• 3 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 whole cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 sprigs Fresh dill
• 2 teaspoons Dried red chili flakes
• 2 teaspoons Whole black peppercorns
• 2 sliced peppers Fresh jalapeño peppers
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly washing the cucumbers and trimming off the ends. Leave them whole or slice them into spears or rounds, depending on your preference.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, kosher salt, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.

Step 3

In clean, sterilized glass jars, evenly distribute the garlic cloves, fresh dill sprigs, dried red chili flakes, black peppercorns, jalapeño slices, and mustard seeds.

Step 4

Pack the cucumbers tightly into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.

Step 5

Pour the warm brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave some room at the top of the jars to allow for expansion.

Step 6

Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once cool, transfer the jars to the refrigerator.

Step 7

Allow the pickles to sit in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours to develop flavor. For the best taste, wait 5-7 days before enjoying.

Step 8

Serve cold and enjoy the fiery, tangy crunch of Mondo's Hot Spicy Pickles!
