Dill Pickle Spears
"The chiles give these pickles a kick," says Debbie Harpe of Placentia, California. For the best pickles, buy very fresh cucumbers 3 to 4 inches long--larger ones are more likely to have formed hollows, and they don't pack as neatly into jars. Dill seed heads are sold on the stalk; snip off and discard the stem. For best flavor, let the pickles stand at least 1 week before serving.
