Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups water
1 ½ cups white vinegar
2 peppers habanero peppers, sliced

SPICY REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES



Spicy Refrigerator Dill Pickles image

Plan well ahead these need to chill for a minimum of 12 days, but use with a month, adjust the red pepper flakes to taste, the amount listed with give you mild heat, I use about 3 teaspoons for extreme heat! ----- you will need 12 cucumbers and three 1-1/2-pint wide mouth jars, you may double this recipe but make two separate recipes in two large bowls (12 cucumbers for each bowl) this recipe can also be made to process. These dill pickles are spicy with a hint of sweetness, and worth making :)
