Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 small pickling cucumbers
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry the pickling cucumbers. Slice them into rounds, spears, or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow the brine to cool to room temperature.
In clean glass jars (about 3-4 pint-sized jars), evenly divide the garlic cloves, fresh dill sprigs, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes.
Pack the prepared cucumbers tightly into the jars, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.
Pour the cooled vinegar brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, gently tap the jars on the counter to release trapped air bubbles.
Seal the jars tightly with lids and refrigerate them. Allow the pickles to marinate for at least 24 hours before serving for the best flavor. They will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
