Ingredients

• 4 medium cucumbers
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 sprigs fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds (approximately 1/8-inch thick). Alternatively, you can use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.

Step 2

Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

Step 4

Layer the cucumber slices, garlic, black peppercorns, and fresh dill sprigs in a large mason jar or other airtight container.

Step 5

Pour the vinegar solution over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid.

Step 6

Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, let the cucumbers marinate overnight to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a delicious side dish or snack. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
