Spicy Homemade Habanero Pickles Recipe: Once you try homemade pickles I guarantee that you will be hooked for life. The fact that these are so incredibly easy and quick to make only adds to the fact that I hope never to buy a pickle again.
And feel free to experiment with your own pickle ingredients. Just keep the liquid base the same, but the spices you add are completely up to you. Want a little more spice? How about throwing some Italian Long Hots into the mix? That’s the beauty with this recipe – you really can’t mess it up!
It is important to also choose the right cucumber for your pickles. You MUST use pickling cucumbers – they are called Kerby Cucumbers and they are typically small with bumpy ridges lining the outer skin. These cucumbers will undoubtedly give you the very best result.
I found that leaving the pickled cucumber recipe into the refrigerator for a night is enough to get a nice flavor, however, I prefer two nights which will give the flavors enough time to absorb into the pickles.
So the next time you have a BBQ to attend, jar your own pickles and bring them to the party! It’s a guaranteed hit.
As always… Live to Eat!

These look delicious! I’ve been looking for a recipe that includes some sort of heat or spice to pickles and this looks like the recipe for me! Thank you for sharing – i’ve never personally tried habanero pickles, they will surely give me the kick i’m looking for! I’ve seen jalapeno before though. Can’t wait to try these at home!
