Print Recipe

These refrigerator pickles combine the sweet tang of bread and butter brine with the spicy heat of jalapeños for a crunchy, addictive snack that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium cucumbers (Kirby or pickling cucumbers), thinly sliced
  • 2 large jalapeños, thinly sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the cucumbers, jalapeños, and onion to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  2. Toss the cucumber slices with 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a large bowl and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
  4. Layer cucumbers, jalapeños, and onions evenly into clean glass jars.
  5. Pour the hot brine over the vegetables, filling jars to just below the rim with about 1/2 inch headspace. Use a spoon to release air bubbles.
  6. Wipe rims clean and seal jars with lids. Let cool to room temperature.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 3 days before tasting. Keep refrigerated up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Do not skip the salting step to keep pickles crisp. Use fresh cucumbers and jalapeños for best flavor. Remove jalapeño seeds to reduce heat. Cloudy brine is normal; shake jar gently to redistribute. Store refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks. Variations include using banana peppers for milder heat or adding garlic and dill for extra flavor.
