Pickling Process

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash cucumbers and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice cucumbers into spears or rounds as desired.

  2. 2

    Make the Pickling Brine

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

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add garlic cloves, dill sprigs, and black peppercorns to the brine.

  4. 4

    Pack the Jars

    Place the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes in sterilized jars. Pour the hot brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Let the jars cool to room temperature. Seal them with lids and refrigerate. Allow the pickles to sit for at least 24 hours before serving for best flavor.
