Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the cucumbers

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

  2. 2

    Make the brine

    In a pot, combine water, white vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  3. 3

    Pack the jars

    In clean, sterilized jars, layer the cucumber slices with fresh dill sprigs. Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are completely submerged.

  4. 4

    Seal and cool

    Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jars.

  5. 5

    Let them pickle

    Allow the cucumbers to pickle in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before consuming for the best flavor.
