Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium cucumbers
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds (approximately 1/8-inch thick). Alternatively, you can use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Layer the cucumber slices, garlic, black peppercorns, and fresh dill sprigs in a large mason jar or other airtight container.
Pour the vinegar solution over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, let the cucumbers marinate overnight to absorb the flavors.
Serve chilled as a delicious side dish or snack. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
