Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Cucumbers
- 1 bunch Fresh dill
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half.
In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, water, kosher salt, mustard seeds, ground turmeric, and crushed red pepper flakes. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt fully dissolve. Once dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and let the brine cool slightly.
Divide the cucumber slices, fresh dill sprigs, and garlic evenly between 3-4 sterilized pint jars, layering them for even flavor distribution.
Carefully pour the warm brine into the jars, ensuring all the cucumber slices are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2-inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars tightly with lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate them for a minimum of 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let them sit for 48 hours.
Enjoy your sweet dill Yum Yum pickles straight from the jar, or use them as a zesty addition to your dishes!
