Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium cucumbers
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and trim off the ends. Slice them into thin discs or spears, depending on your preference.
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves using the side of a knife.
In a clean jar or container suitable for pickling, layer the sliced cucumbers, garlic cloves, fresh dill sprigs, and whole black peppercorns.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Secure the jar with a lid and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve the pickled cucumbers chilled as a snack, side dish, or garnish.
