Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized (about 6 inches each) Cucumber
• 1 cup White vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 2 small, peeled and sliced Garlic cloves
• 4 sprigs Dill
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, garlic slices, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.

Step 4

Place the sliced cucumbers and dill sprigs into a clean, heatproof glass jar or container.

Step 5

Pour the warm brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, press the cucumbers down gently with a spoon.

Step 6

Let the pickles cool to room temperature. Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Store the pickles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, although they are best enjoyed within the first week for maximum crunch and flavor.
