What?!?!

Yah I have a friend who is an accomplished fermenter. I make a special jar with hot peppers in there with the pickles for some spice too!

I love that idea and will give it a go on a few quarts. I have added red pepper flakes to most of the jars and enjoy the spice it gives to the pickles, I can only imagine the spicy flavor the pickles will have by adding a hot pepper.
Thanks for the idea.

Yah.

Preferably I just slide a long red whole chili in there between the pickles/spears. Only a little zing. I may have to throw a ghost pepper bomb in the bottom of one of them and see if that produces explosive results!
