Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Small cucumbers
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 4 sprigs Fresh dill sprigs
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice off the ends. You can choose to keep them whole or slice them into spears or rounds, depending on your preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the salt dissolves. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a clean, sterile 1-quart jar, add the dill sprigs, garlic cloves (smashed), black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes.
Pack the cucumbers tightly into the jar with the spices, ensuring that they are covered by the brine.
Pour the warm water-vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, leaving about half an inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
Seal the jar with a lid, shake gently to distribute the spices, and let it cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the pickles for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For best results, allow them to sit for 3 days.
Serve the dill pickles cold as a keto-friendly snack or as a flavor-packed addition to meals.
