These Sweet Heat Pickles take ordinary dill pickles to extraordinary heights by infusing them with a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Starting with kosher dill pickles, each layer is built with a careful combination of sugar, fresh minced garlic, chopped jalapeños, and red pepper flakes. The simple layering process allows the flavors to meld as the sugar transforms into a flavorful brine. After resting on the counter and then chilling in the refrigerator, these pickles develop a complex flavor profile that’s both sweet and spicy. They’re versatile enough to enhance burgers and sandwiches, add zest to charcuterie boards, or enjoy straight from the jar.
