Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Cucumbers (pickling variety)
- 6 sprigs Fresh dill sprigs
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2.5 cups White vinegar
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 2.5 cups Water
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into rounds, spears, or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
Sterilize 4 pint-sized glass jars and their lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Remove carefully and set aside to air dry.
Place 1-2 sprigs of fresh dill and 1 garlic clove at the bottom of each jar.
In a medium pot, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and ground turmeric.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely.
Pack the sliced cucumbers tightly into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring the liquid covers them entirely while still leaving a small amount of headspace.
Seal the jars tightly with their lids and let them cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, refrigerate the jars for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Oh So Good Sweet Dill Pickles!
