Dutch Kettle Amish Home Style Hot Pickled Garlic – A Little Fire in Every Clove

Bold Garlic, Tangy Brine & Just the Right Amount of Heat!

If you love garlic and enjoy a little heat, Dutch Kettle Amish Home Style Hot Pickled Garlic is a pantry treat worth reaching for! Fresh whole peeled garlic cloves are pickled in a tangy vinegar brine with jalapeños, crushed red peppers, mustard seed, and just enough sugar to create a wonderfully balanced sweet-and-spicy bite.

The pickling process mellows the sharp bite of fresh garlic, leaving the cloves tender, tangy, savory, and pleasantly garlicky. Then the jalapeños and crushed red peppers turn up the heat, giving this old-fashioned pickled favorite a lively kick.

Made in North Carolina, Dutch Kettle Hot Pickled Garlic is an Amish-made, homemade-style specialty made with simple, recognizable ingredients and no preservatives.

What Does Hot Pickled Garlic Taste Like?

The first thing you'll notice is the rich, savory flavor of garlic, followed by the bright tang of vinegar. Unlike raw garlic, which can have a sharp, biting intensity, pickled garlic is noticeably mellower and smoother.

Then comes the heat! Jalapeños and crushed red peppers add a warm, spicy kick that lingers pleasantly on the palate. A little sugar helps balance the vinegar and peppers, while mustard seed adds another layer of savory flavor.

The result is tangy, garlicky, slightly sweet, and spicy—a delicious combination for anyone who likes their snacks with a little attitude!

What Makes Amish-Made Hot Pickled Garlic Different?

Dutch Kettle Hot Pickled Garlic has the homemade-style character and simple ingredient list that make Amish-made pantry foods so appealing. Rather than relying on preservatives or a complicated list of additives, the recipe uses familiar ingredients: garlic, sugar, jalapeños, vinegar, crushed red peppers, salt, and mustard seed.

It's also made in North Carolina, giving you an American-made specialty that brings the flavor of a country kitchen straight to your pantry.

Hot Pickled Garlic vs. Regular Pickled Garlic

So what's the difference between Dutch Kettle Amish Home Style Hot Pickled Garlic and the regular Pickled Garlic?

The foundation is the same: both use fresh whole peeled garlic, sugar, vinegar, salt, and mustard seed. The Hot Pickled Garlic adds jalapeño peppers and crushed red peppers, creating a noticeable spicy kick.

Regular Pickled Garlic: Smooth, tangy, savory, and pleasantly garlicky.

Hot Pickled Garlic: All of that delicious garlic flavor, plus jalapeño and crushed-red-pepper heat.

If you like classic pickled garlic but wish it had a little more excitement, the Hot variety is the one to try!
