Sriracha Pickles

5 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 pints jar of whole gherkin cucumbers (I use Mexican Sour Gherkins from the garden -- sliced cucumber will work, too)
  • 1 cup vinegar (white, cider, or wine)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp pickling salt (or any pure salt)
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (sriracha), to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Add gherkins/cucumber to a clean pint jar.
  2. 2
    In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar, water and salt to a boil.
  3. 3
    Remove from heat.
  4. 4
    Stir in the hot sauce and cool for about 3 -5 minutes (liquid should still be hot, but not boiling hot).
  5. 5
    Pour the liquid into the jar over the gherkins/cucumbers.
  6. 6
    Cap the jar and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 3-4 days before eating.
  7. 7
    (You can try them after 24 hours, but they won't be fully pickled).
  8. 8
    Once they're pickled, move the jar to the refrigerator.
