William’s Mill Spicy Pickle Bomb seasoning with cowboy mascot, jar of spicy pickles, garlic, chili pepper and 20 g seasoning pouch.

Spicy Pickle Bomb

Turn an ordinary jar of dill pickles into bold, spicy American-style pickles with one pouch of William’s Mill Spicy Pickle Bomb. They taste good right after shaking the jar. Leave them overnight, though, and that’s when they really come together.

Equipment Method Notes

Equipment

  • 1 Jar of dill pickles

Method
 

  1. Start with a jar of dill pickles in their original brine.
  2. Open the jar. If it is filled right to the top and there isn’t enough room for the seasoning, remove a little brine first. Or eat a pickle. Or drink a little brine. We’re not here to judge.
  3. Pour the entire 20 g pouch of Spicy Pickle Bomb into the jar.
  4. Close the lid tightly.
  5. Shake the jar thoroughly until the seasoning is distributed throughout the brine.
  6. Refrigerate.
  7. The pickles are good immediately after shaking, but for the best flavor, leave them in the refrigerator overnight.
  8. Give the jar another shake or turn it over a few times before serving.

Notes

Keep the original brine. Spicy Pickle Bomb is designed to season the pickles and the brine already in the jar.
A jar around 550–700 g is a good starting point for one 20 g pouch.
The amount of pickle relative to seasoning controls the heat:
Smaller jar = hotter.
Larger jar = milder.
Our Heat Meter rates the standard preparation Hot. If you want less heat, simply use less Spicy Pickle Bomb.
How the pickles are cut matters too. Sliced pickles absorb the seasoning faster and more intensely because more surface area is exposed to the seasoned brine. Spears fall somewhere in the middle. Whole pickles will generally develop more slowly and taste a little milder.
Keep the seasoned pickles refrigerated.
