Nothin' Sweet About These Spicy Refrigerator Pickles

Garlic and Dill Lacto-Fermented Pickles
"Traditionally, dill pickles were made by the lacto-fermentation process," says Allrecipes member Michelle Horne. "Requiring nothing more than salt, cucumbers, water, and seasonings. But no vinegar! The fermentation process works because the high salt content kills off bad bacteria leaving the healthy bacteria alone. This style of pickling is not only healthy for you but tastes wonderful as well!"

Flamin' Hot Fried Pickles
"Fried pickles with a kick," says Allrecipes Allstar Soup Loving Nicole. "The cayenne may seem over the top but the Cheetos lose some of their heat in the oil so you've got to trust me on this one. Dip in ranch dressing if desired."
