Pickle Ingredients

Method

Pickling Directions

  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 medium saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic cloves, dill seeds, black peppercorns, and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve.

  3. 3

    Pack the Jars

    Sterilize your jars and lids. Pack the cucumber slices tightly into the jars, leaving some space at the top.

  4. 4

    Add the Brine

    Pour the hot brine over the packed cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave about half an inch of space at the top of the jars.

  5. 5

    Seal and Cool

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

  6. 6

    Let Them Pickle

    Allow the pickles to sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before consuming for the best flavor.
