Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the jar: Select a large, clean jar (or multiple smaller jars). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Layer the ingredients: Place half of the cucumber slices in the jar. Add the smashed garlic cloves, fresh dill sprigs, and black peppercorns. Top with the remaining cucumber slices, packing them tightly into the jar. (10 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Make the brine: In a small saucepan, combine the water, kosher salt, and white vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the salt is completely dissolved. (10 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Cool the brine: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the brine cool for 10 minutes. This prevents the cucumbers from becoming too soft. (10 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Pour and seal: Carefully pour the warm brine over the cucumbers in the jar, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly with a lid. (5 minutes)

06

Step
24 hrs

Refrigerate: Refrigerate the jar for at least one day, or up to 4 weeks. The pickles will develop more flavor as they sit. (24+ hours)

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the jar.
Use high-quality vinegar for the best flavor.
Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as mustard seeds or coriander seeds.
These pickles are best enjoyed cold.

    My cucumbers were a little soft after a week, so I'll make sure to pack them tighter next time.
