Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup White distilled vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 whole Garlic clove
- 4 sprigs Dill sprigs
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds or spears, depending on your preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white distilled vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Pack the sliced cucumbers tightly into a clean 1-quart jar (or two pint-sized jars).
Add the garlic cloves, dill sprigs, black peppercorns, and optional red pepper flakes into the jar with the cucumbers.
Carefully pour the warm vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Seal the jar(s) tightly with a lid and let it cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
Allow the pickles to rest in the fridge for at least 24 hours before eating to develop their full flavor. They can keep for up to 2 weeks.
