Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumbers

    Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Cut off the ends and slice them into spears or rounds, depending on your preference.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Brine

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the salt and sugar dissolve.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Once the brine is boiling, add garlic cloves, dill, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and let the brine cool to room temperature.

Packing

  1. 4

    Pack the Jars

    In clean, sterilized jars, pack the cucumber slices tightly. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave about half an inch of space at the top of the jar.

  2. 5

    Seal the Jars

    Seal the jars with lids tightly. If using metal lids, ensure they are new for best results.

Pickling

  1. 6

    Refrigerate

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

  2. 7

    Enjoy

    The pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Enjoy them as a snack, on sandwiches, or as a side dish!
