Can I ask if the “fresh dill” is required? I have some dried dill on hand and just went to the store this morning and forgot to get fresh. I’ll go back if I have to, but does anyone know how much different (and I’m assuming drastically different) the pickles will come out using the dried dill? Thanks!
Can these be canned?
Does it have to be a English cucumber,?
These pickles are really Great! FYI for anyone wondering, rice wine vinegar and rice vinegar are basically the same thing. I found this out after shopping for rice wine vinegar and not finding it.
As others said, I cut down on the crushed red pepper flakes. I used 2 tsps. I did add 2 smallish garlic cloves, just cut in half.
Great pickles!
A delicious, spicy, sweet and tangy recipe devoured by the family! Super easy too.
So easy to make! I’m not super sensitive to hot/spicy foods but I’m not a big spicy food eater either and these pickles have the perfect amount of heat- it builds. I made these to go with fried chicken for an Easter dinner and everyone loved them! They were delicious with burgers as well. Will be making these regularly!
Does anyone know if they can be frozen?
Love love these pickles. I use 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes. My husband can’t open fridge without having a few.
I LOVED these! I only used 1 1/2 teaspoons of the red pepper flakes after reading the reviews and it made them a nice medium heat. This is a keeper and great as gifts. Thanks Ree!
Dead simple to make and totally delicious. They can be really addicting. They are pretty spicy from a whole Tbsp of red pepper flakes. For kids you might either leave out the red pepper flakes or really tone them down. They even make my nose run and my tongue feel warm! I’ve made these 5 times in this past month, and yesterday when I made them I added an Anaheim pepper that I sliced into rings. I don’t have any canning jars, so I just used a regular pickle jar I had washed and kept.
NOTE: The first few times I made these I didn’t see the part about adding the water, so the brine was more concentrated and sweeter from the honey. So seriously, I tasted it and couldn’t quit! I even drank some out of the jar after they were gone (avoiding the seeds of course). Your mileage may vary, LOL.
