Sweet and Spicy Refrigerator Pickles

cucumbers (thinly sliced (about 6 cups when sliced))

red onion (thinly sliced)

salt

apple cider vinegar (see notes)

honey (see notes)

garlic

red pepper

Sprinkle 3 teaspoons of salt over your thinly sliced cucumbers and red onion. Place cucumbers and onions in a colander and let sit for 1 hour—this helps remove the extra moisture from the vegetables. Set aside and start on your pickling mixture.

In a small saucepan over low heat, add your vinegar, water, honey, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper. Bring mixture to a boil and let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

After your cucumbers and onions have sat for 1 hour, rinse salt and pat dry. Add your cucumbers and onions to 1 large jar or divide between 2 medium size jars (see notes). It’s okay to really squish the cucumbers and onions in there. Pour the pickling liquid into the jar(s) covering the cucumbers and onions. Place lid on tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before eating.

Spicy Beer Pickles

½ cups session IPA

apple cider vinegar

white sugar

black peppercorns

red pepper flakes

Kirby

dill

In a small saucepan, combine the beer, vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns and red pepper flakes. While stirring, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook just until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 3 minutes. Remove the brine from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Pack the cucumbers into an airtight container. Add the dill. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, making sure everything is submerged.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator as is for up to 1 week, or use proper canning techniques for shelf storage.
