Spicy Pickled Kirby Cucumbers

By [e-mail]

These pickles have a slow heat. If you like some heat, you'll love them. They always go fast, even just as a snack!

Ingredients

• 4 Kirby cucumbers or 2 regular cucumbers, sliced thin
• 2 fresh red Thai chilies, seeded and sliced thin (leave seeds in for extra spicy) or crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar or sugar substitute

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Let sit for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. Taste for seasoning and adjust to taste. Will keep in the refrigerator for 2 -3 weeks.

For a 1 quart mason jar make 1 1/2 batch (4 large Kirby cucumbers or 5-6 small Kirby cucumbers).
