Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for sweet and spicy bread and butter pickle chips infused with fresh jalapeños, perfect for summer snacks and barbecues.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Kirby cucumbers, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced (adjust to taste for heat)
  • 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash cucumbers thoroughly and slice into thin, consistent rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Slice jalapeños and onions similarly. Remove seeds from jalapeños for less heat if desired.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir over medium heat until sugar and salt dissolve.
  3. Add mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric powder to the saucepan. Bring mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. In sterilized jars, layer cucumber slices, onion, and jalapeños evenly without overpacking.
  5. Pour the hot brine over the vegetables in the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace. Ensure cucumbers are fully submerged.
  6. Seal jars tightly with lids and let cool to room temperature (30-45 minutes). Transfer to refrigerator.
  7. Allow pickles to develop flavor for at least 24 hours; best after 3 days.
  8. Store refrigerated and consume within 3-4 weeks.

Notes

For extra crunch, soak cucumbers in ice water for 30 minutes before slicing. Avoid boiling the brine too long to keep vinegar’s bright tang. Remove jalapeño seeds to reduce heat. Pickles taste best after 3 days of refrigeration. Store in airtight jars and consume within 3-4 weeks.
