Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumbers

    Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Slice them into your desired shape - spears, chips, or rounds.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Jars

    Sterilize glass jars by washing them in hot soapy water or running them through a dishwasher. Allow to dry.

Vinegar Solution

  1. 3

    Make the Brine

    In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar are dissolved.

  2. 4

    Add Spices

    Once the brine is boiling, add garlic, dill weed, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

Canning

  1. 5

    Fill the Jars

    Pack the sliced cucumbers into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.

  2. 6

    Pour the Brine

    Carefully pour the hot brine over the cucumbers in the jars, making sure they are fully submerged and leaving the same headspace.

  3. 7

    Seal the Jars

    Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any residue. Place the lids on top and screw on the bands until they are fingertip-tight.

Storage

  1. 8

    Process and Store

    If desired, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes for long-term storage. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
