How To Make Dill Pickles - Spicy Pickle Recipe
If you like pickles, there is no reason to buy them from the grocery store. All that you need is 10 minutes and 3 to 7 days to make the best dill pickles you've ever tasted.
The best thing about making homemade pickles is that you can tailor them to suit your tastes, making them sweet or sour, and adding as much or as little flavoring as you wish. The trick with pickling is to create an environment that is not hospitable to the bad bacteria while preserving the integrity of the vegetables. The 1:1 ratio of vinegar to water keeps vegetables crisp in the fridge, but is also acidic enough that they can be canned safely if you choose to.
The ingredients I used for these spicy dill pickles are:

3 large pickles
2 Tbsp. pickling spice
5 garlic cloves sliced
3 Tbsp. Kosher salt
4 Tbsp. sugar
Dill (fresh or dried to taste) I used about 6 sprigs
1 1/4 cup vinegar
Boiling water to cover
3 Ghost chili peppers (any hot pepper will work) optional
