If you’re wondering how to make sweet and spicy pickled cucumbers with chili and garlic<\/strong>, this is the recipe you need. These homemade cucumber pickles are perfect as a side dish for grilled meats or as a crunchy winter snack. If you enjoy bold, spicy flavors, these pickles deserve a spot in your pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I find these pickles pleasantly spicy -but not overwhelmingly hot. That said, I have a fairly low tolerance for heat. If you prefer milder flavors, I recommend replacing the chili with hot paprika or simply using less chili. On the other hand, if you love extra-spicy food, you may find that one packet of chili isn’t enough. Since everyone’s spice tolerance is different, it’s a good idea to make one batch first and then adjust the heat level to suit your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recipe variations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How to make the sweet and spicy brine?<\/strong> How many jars does this recipe make?<\/strong> Follow the step-by-step recipe to learn how to make the best sweet and spicy pickled cucumbers with chili and garlic<\/strong>, and watch the video below for extra guidance.

If you prefer a milder version, use only half the amount of chili or replace it with hot paprika, which has a gentler heat.
If you enjoy curry-flavored sandwich pickles, try adding a packet of curry seasoning to the brine.
You can also add traditional pickling spices such as bay leaves, allspice berries, mustard seeds, and fresh dill to the jars. I usually skip them because I like each type of homemade pickle to have its own unique flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To make the brine, start by dissolving the sugar in the vinegar. Heat the vinegar and sugar over low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then add the chili, garlic pressed through a garlic press, and the oil. You can also add any additional spices at this stage. Stir well, then pour the hot brine over the cucumbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quantities listed below make about 6 (500 ml \/ 1-pint) jars<\/strong>. The exact yield will depend on how long the cucumbers have been marinating and how much liquid they release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
