Spicy Refrigerator Pickles
Spicy Refrigerator Pickles
Spicy Refrigerator Pickles is one of our favorite pickle recipes. Or should I say one of my hubby’s favorite pickle recipes. They are easy to make and can be kept in the refrigerator. A few ingredients are a must to make these pickles just right. Garden fresh pickling cucumbers are always the best to use, dried chili peppers and hot sauce will give the pickles the right amount of zip.

The Longer They Sit
As with all pickles the longer they are allowed to sit, the better they will be. This is especially true for these refrigerator pickles. The longer they sit, the hotter they become but at the same time, they tend to mellow somewhat. With added cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes, along with the hot sauce and dried chili peppers, they are super hot. If your a fan of hot and spicy food, you’ll love these, if your not, beware!
Pickles
My family loves, loves pickles. From my hubby all the way down to my youngest grandchild, they’re all kooky for pickles. That is everyone except me. I’m the odd man out when it comes to pickles. Don’t get me wrong, I like the occasional pickle with my sandwich or sub but these people are nuts! I mean they eat jars of pickles each week. When I make homemade pickles though it’s my hubby who goes nuts. He loves any kind of homemade pickles.
