Ingredients
- 4 medium cucumbers
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 4 sprigs dill sprigs
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them using the flat side of a knife.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a clean glass jar or airtight container, layer the cucumber slices along with garlic cloves, black peppercorns, dill sprigs, and red pepper flakes.
Step 5
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the cucumber slices, ensuring that all of the cucumbers are fully submerged in the liquid. Let the jar cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. For best flavor, let the cucumbers pickle for 24 hours.
Step 7
Serve the pickled cucumber slices as a condiment, side dish, or snack. Refrigerate any leftovers in the jar for up to 2 weeks.
