Ingredients
- 4 medium cucumbers
- 0.5 cup fresh dill
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under running water. Dry them gently with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers into discs about 1/4 inch thick, or into spears, depending on your preference.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly or crush them for a more intense flavor.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and sea salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sea salt is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey until it dissolves completely. Allow the brine to cool to room temperature.
Step 6
In a large clean jar or glass container, layer the cucumber slices, fresh dill, garlic slices, black peppercorns, and mustard seeds.
Step 7
Pour the cooled brine over the cucumber mixture, ensuring that the cucumbers are fully submerged in the liquid.
Step 8
Seal the jar or container tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. For maximum flavor, allow the pickles to marinate for 3 to 4 days before consuming.
Step 9
Store the pickles in the refrigerator and enjoy as a paleo snack or side dish within 2 weeks.
