Kimchi Pickles

1 quart jar
15 min

My favorite thing about this pickle recipe (besides of course the fact that they taste like kimchi) is its simplicity.

These guys are refrigerator pickles. The good news about that is you don’t have to process your jars in a water bath. The bad news is you can’t keep them in the pantry. But that’s okay because the small amount of cucumbers we use, will only take up about one quart size jar and trust me they will go fast.

I’ve found the best cucumbers for this recipe are these by Pure Flavor.

You may be asking yourself, why do I need a pickle that tastes like kimchi? Well stay tuned, because the sandwich that we put these bad boys on is a game changer.
