Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 jar Dill pickles Sliced or spears
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Red pepper flakes Optional, for a little heat
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Drain the pickles thoroughly from their original brine. If using whole pickles, slice them into desired shapes.
- In a saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is hot, but not boiling. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Place the drained pickles into a clean glass jar or a heatproof container.
- Carefully pour the hot liquid mixture over the pickles, ensuring they are fully submerged. If necessary, add a little more water or vinegar to cover.
- Let the pickles cool to room temperature, then cover the container tightly.
- Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the smoky essence to infuse. For best results, let them sit for 2-3 days.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
These pickles are best enjoyed after at least 24 hours in the refrigerator. The smoky flavor will deepen over time. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
