How to use Sriracha Pickles?

Sriracha pickles add wonderful flavor and crunch to whatever you add them to.  Some delicious ideas are:

• They make a great addition to sandwiches and burgers.
• Chop them up for a topping on hot dogs or brats.
• Excellent addition to cheese platters with crackers, dried fruit, hummus, nuts, and salami.
• Dice them and add them to egg salad or tuna salad!
• Add minced pickles to deviled eggs.
• Serve them with your favorite BBQ!

What kind of cucumbers are best for making pickles?

I like to use Persian, “snacking”, or Kirby cucumbers for pickling. 

Unlike traditional, slicing cucumbers, they have thinner, non-waxy skins.  Plus, they have less seeds & water than traditional cucumbers, so they’ll stay crunchier longer.

How long are these homemade pickles good for?

When using best practices, these pickles should last up to a month in the fridge.
