Ingredients

  • 4 medium (about 5-6 inches each) Cucumber
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 small bunch Fresh dill
  • 2 cups White vinegar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
  • 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and lightly smash them with the side of a knife.

Step 3

In a clean mason jar or a container with a tight-fitting lid, layer the cucumber slices (or spears) with the smashed garlic cloves and fresh dill sprigs.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, black peppercorns, and red chili flakes if using. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Once the brine is ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

Pour the warm brine over the cucumbers in the jar, making sure they are fully submerged. Use a spoon or utensil to press down gently if needed.

Step 7

Seal the jar with the lid and let it come to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Allow the pickles to marinate for at least 24 hours before enjoying, though they will taste even better after 48 hours.

Step 9

Store the pickles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Always use a clean utensil to remove pickles to preserve freshness.
