Sweet & Spicy Pickles
1 lb English Cucumber sliced thinly or 1lb small pickling cucumbers.
1 small Red Bell Pepper or one half of large pepper, sliced
1 small Chile Pepper-Fresno Chile, Serrano or your favorite! Remove seeds & ribs if you don’t want it too spicy.
2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Cup sugar
1 TBLS Picking spice
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes
Pinch of Kosher Salt
1 Quart glass jar with lid
Place vinegar & sugar in sauce pan stir with whisk and heat over medium until sugar is dissolved, this only takes about 5 minutes.
While the vinegar is cooking place the remaining ingredients into your glass jar. Pour hot vinegar mixture over your cucumbers & peppers. Put lid on tightly and invert a couple of times to make sure the spices are evenly distributed. Place in refrigerator overnight and you will have yummy pickles in the morning.
This makes a yummy relish as well, just strain and chop everything up and you have a delish relish for your hot dogs or potato salad.
