Made these pickles last week and they turned out great! I like that you can adjust the heat level to your own preference. I also added some fresh ginger and garlic to the brine, which gave them an extra layer of flavor.

These pickles are insanely delicious! I made them for a party and they were the hit of the night. The heat from the chilies is perfect and the vinegar gives them a nice tang. I will definitely be making these again.
