Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Sterilized jars

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Cucumbers Fresh, sliced
  • 4 cups Water
  • 3 cups White Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Kosher Salt
  • 4 cloves Garlic Peeled and smashed
  • 4 heads Fresh Dill
  • 1 tablespoon Mustard Seeds
  • 2 teaspoons Black Peppercorns
  • 4 Dill Flower Heads Optional

Instructions

  • In a large pot, combine the water, white vinegar, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil.
  • While the brine is heating, pack the cucumber slices tightly into sterilized jars, adding garlic cloves, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and fresh dill as you go.
  • Once the brine is boiling, carefully pour it over the cucumbers in the jars, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  • If using dill flower heads, add one to each jar for extra flavor. Seal the jars tightly.
  • Let the jars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 48 hours before enjoying.

Notes

For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños to the jars before sealing. Use firm, fresh cucumbers for the best crunch.
