Spicy Dill Pickle Chips

When I say some like it hot, I definitely am talking about my teenagers. They like everything spicy and tangy, so when I experimented with a Sriracha-style pickle, it was no surprise that the jar was devoured in minutes. I used the Pretty Pickled Barn Burning DIY Pickling Packet, and they were ready to pickle in my fridge in minutes. I'm not kidding; it was that easy.

When To Use?

I often recommend my pickles on a charcuterie board or tossed in a salad. These spicy dill pickles, however, seem more suited as a snack. Think…packed in your kid’s lunch. Or in a bowl on taco night. They taste like a Taki but are 100% natural and part raw veggie, so have confidence that you're eating something good for you. They are fun to eat just as they are, but if you are determined to put them on something great, I would suggest deli sandwiches, burgers, or fried chicken sandwiches. Maybe even on avocado toast.

Pickling Tips

I prefer to use a mandoline to slice the onions and cucumber. Another fun tool is the ripple-cut knife. You can find them on Amazon. It is easy to use and gives the cucumber a fun wavy texture. I like to make the brine first and stick it in the freezer to get nice and chilled before adding it to the veggies.

As far as which type of cucumbers, I used one organic English cucumber. It was the perfect amount for a 32oz jar. Immediately place in the fridge and sit for 12-24 hours before enjoying. This pickle is HOT!!! It may not be for everyone, but if you or someone you know likes a spicy treat, I promise they will love these.

I used equal parts vinegar and water for this recipe, which is a bit unusual for me. I did this because my son enjoys the tangy flavor that is more common in grocery store pickles.

Barn Burning

The Pretty Pickled “Barn Burning” DIY Packet was named after my kid, who loves the chili lime Taki. Surprised? It is the perfect mix of chili pepper, habanero pepper, lime, sugar, and salt. The name "Barn Burning" also references Thomas Edison, who, as I recall, wanted to learn about fire and ended up burning down his barn. That is my kid, always exploring.
