Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumbers
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 bunch Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water and dry them with a clean towel.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers into rounds about 1/4 inch thick or cut them into spears according to your preference. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves and cut them into thin slices.
Step 5
In a clean, wide-mouthed quart jar (or two pint jars), layer the cucumber slices or spears, garlic slices, fresh dill sprigs, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes.
Step 6
Once the vinegar brine is slightly cooled, carefully pour it over the cucumbers in the jar, ensuring that the cucumbers are completely submerged.
Step 7
Seal the jar with a lid and let the pickles cool at room temperature for about an hour.
Step 8
Transfer the jar to the refrigerator and let the flavors develop. For best results, allow the pickles to marinate for at least 24 hours before enjoying them.
Step 9
These pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
