Ingredients

• 8 medium Cucumbers (pickling variety)
• 6 sprigs Fresh dill sprigs
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2.5 cups White vinegar
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 2.5 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into rounds, spears, or leave them whole, depending on your preference.

Step 2

Sterilize 4 pint-sized glass jars and their lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Remove carefully and set aside to air dry.

Step 3

Place 1-2 sprigs of fresh dill and 1 garlic clove at the bottom of each jar.

Step 4

In a medium pot, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and ground turmeric.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely.

Step 6

Pack the sliced cucumbers tightly into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 7

Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring the liquid covers them entirely while still leaving a small amount of headspace.

Step 8

Seal the jars tightly with their lids and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Once cooled, refrigerate the jars for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy your Oh So Good Sweet Dill Pickles!
