Jalapeno Garlic Basil Pickles are a quick and flavorful no-cook pickle recipe that combines the tang of vinegar with the heat of jalapenos, aromatic garlic, and fresh basil leaves. Perfect for adding a zesty crunch to sandwiches or as a spicy snack, these pickles are ready to enjoy after just 12 hours in the refrigerator.

  • Total Time: 12 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Pickling Liquid

  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Pickles

  • 2-3 cucumbers
  • 10 jalapeno slices
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves (about 20 leaves)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pickling liquid: In a bowl, combine vinegar, hot water, sugar, coriander seeds, minced garlic, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely. To speed up the process, gently heat the mixture in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, but do not allow it to boil. Let the mixture cool completely before using.
  2. Slice the cucumbers: Cut the cucumbers into wedges that fit comfortably inside your pickling jars.
  3. Layer jalapenos and basil: Place some jalapeno slices and fresh basil leaves at the bottom of each jar to add initial flavor layers.
  4. Fill jars with cucumbers: Pack the cucumber wedges tightly on top of the jalapenos and basil in each jar.
  5. Add pickling liquid: Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged to promote proper pickling.
  6. Top with remaining jalapenos and basil: Distribute the remaining jalapeno slices and basil leaves between and on top of the cucumbers inside the jars.
  7. Refrigerate: Seal the jars and refrigerate them for at least 12 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Notes

  • For a milder pickle, reduce the amount of jalapeno slices.
  • Ensure the pickling liquid is cooled completely before pouring over the cucumbers to maintain crispness.
  • These pickles should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 1-2 weeks for optimal freshness.
  • You can customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of garlic and coriander seeds.
