For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a few slices of fresh ginger or a halved jalapeño to the jar. The spice level can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of crushed red pepper flakes. Ensure the cucumbers are fully submerged in the brine to prevent spoilage. These pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. However, their texture is best within the first week.
