Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Cucumbers
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 small Dill sprigs
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds (approximately 1/4-inch thick).
Peel and smash the garlic cloves using the back of your knife to release their flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, white vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a clean glass jar or container, layer the cucumber slices, garlic cloves, and dill sprigs.
Sprinkle the mustard seeds and crushed red pepper flakes evenly over the layers.
Carefully pour the warm brine over the cucumbers in the jar, ensuring all slices are fully submerged.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator.
Allow the pickles to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to develop their flavor. They will keep for up to two weeks.
