Simple dill pickles can enhance a variety of sandwiches or just be a delicious snack.
This recipe has a classic dill flavor with a hint of garlic and warm finish from the red pepper flakes.
If you like things spicy, I recommend adding some sliced jalapeño or habanero to the pickle jar for a little extra kick.
This recipe should allow you to yield at least two jars of pickles. We like a mixture of spears and chips, but you can slice them as you like. A mandolin works really well for long flat sandwich sliced pickles. Just watch your fingers.
