A sweet and tangy pickle recipe with cinnamon and onion, perfect for snacking or adding a flavorful twist to sandwiches and salads, suitable for any time of year.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the kosher dills and remove from the jar.
- Slice the pickles into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick pieces and place them back into the jar.
- Add sugar, cinnamon pieces, and sliced onion to the jar with the pickles.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning the jar up and down periodically to distribute flavors.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding a few slices of fresh jalapeño or a dash of red pepper flakes to the jar. You can substitute the sugar with honey or agave syrup for a healthier option. If you prefer a stronger flavor, let the pickles marinate for up to 48 hours before consuming. Make sure to slice the onion thinly to ensure even distribution of flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These pickles make a fantastic side dish for barbecues and picnics, adding a refreshing crunch to any meal. They pair beautifully with a Boneless Chuck Roast or can be served alongside sandwiches. For a creative twist, chop them up and mix them into potato or pasta salads for added flavor. Enjoy with a side of Maple-Pecan Carrots for a delicious contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store the pickles in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If you have leftovers, simply give the jar a gentle shake to redistribute the flavors before serving. They can be enjoyed straight from the jar or used as a tangy topping on sandwiches or salads.
