Pickle Ingredients

Method

Pickle Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brine

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cucumbers

    While the brine is heating, wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into spears or rounds, depending on your preference.

  3. 3

    Pack the Jars

    In clean, sterilized jars, layer the cucumber slices, garlic cloves, dill sprigs, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes.

  4. 4

    Pour the Brine

    Once the brine has boiled, carefully pour it over the packed cucumbers in the jars, ensuring the cucumbers are fully submerged. Leave a little space at the top of the jar.

  5. 5

    Seal and Cool

    Seal the jars with lids and allow them to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate

    Refrigerate the pickles for at least 24 hours before consuming to allow the flavors to develop.
