Ingredients

1 pound small cucumbers
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dill seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)

Instructions

Prepare the Cucumbers: Start by washing your cucumbers thoroughly. If you prefer smaller pickles, consider slicing them into spears or rounds. You can also keep them whole for a crunchier bite!
Make the Brine: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, dill seeds, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Pack the Jars: In clean, sterilized jars, layer the smashed garlic cloves and cucumbers. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they’re fully submerged. You may need to use a weight or a clean, small jar to press them down.
Refrigerate: Seal the jars tightly and place them in the refrigerator. Let them marinate for at least 24 hours for optimal flavor, but if you can wait a few days, the tastes will deepen even more!
Enjoy: Your crunchy garlic dill pickles are now ready to enjoy! They can be kept in the fridge for up to a month, but trust us, they’ll be gone long before that!
