Sweet Heat Pickles: A Flavorful Twist

Instructions:

1. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cucumbers, vinegar, sugar, water, salt, peppercorns, red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, and celery seeds. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
2. Marinate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 2 weeks. The longer you let the pickles marinate, the more flavorful they will become.

Tips:

• Adjust heat: If you prefer a spicier pickle, add more red pepper flakes. For a milder flavor, use less.
• Experiment with flavors: Feel free to add other spices to your pickles, such as dill, garlic, or turmeric.
• Versatility: These pickles are perfect for adding a tangy kick to sandwiches, salads, burgers, or even as a snack on their own.

Enjoy these delicious and versatile sweet heat pickles!
