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.

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.

Sriracha Pickles
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb. cucumbers, sliced Kirby, Persian, or snacking
- 1/2 yellow onion sliced
- 1 tsp. black peppercorns
- 1.5 tbsp. sriracha
- 1.25 tbsp. pickling/canning salt
- 1.5 cups water
- 1.5 cups white vinegar 5% acidity
Instructions
- Add the water, vinegar, and pickling salt to a sauce pan and bring to boil. Stir so that salt dissolves, turn off heat and set aside.
- Distribute the black peppercorns, cucumber slices, and onion equally amongst the pickle jars/jar. Add sriracha to the top of the veggies.
- Pour the pickling brine into a liquid measuring cup, then pour the brine over the veggies in the jar. Make sure the brine covers the pickles.
- Let the pickles sit on the counter and come to room temperature before putting the lids on, then refrigerate. After 1-2 days, the pickles will be ready and should last at least a month in the fridge.
