Savor crisp, zesty Garlic Dill Cucumbers! Our easy vinegar-sugar brine infuses fresh cukes with irresistible savory-tang. Quick prep, full instructions & nutrition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs mini cucumbers (or 3–4 medium cucumbers)
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. For mini cucumbers, you can leave them whole or slice them in half lengthwise. For medium cucumbers, slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or spears.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, kosher salt, and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the salt and sugar are fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: Tightly pack the sliced cucumbers into a clean 1-quart jar or an airtight container. Distribute the sliced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and black peppercorns evenly among the cucumbers.
  4. Step 4: Carefully pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are completely submerged. If needed, gently press down the cucumbers to ensure they are fully covered by the liquid.
  5. Step 5: Let the jar cool to room temperature on your countertop (about 30-60 minutes). Once cooled, seal the jar with a lid and transfer it to the refrigerator.
  6. Step 6: Allow the cucumbers to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Keep these delightful pickled cucumbers tightly sealed in the refrigerator, where they'll stay crisp and flavorful for up to 2-3 weeks.
  • These crisp, refreshing cucumbers are best enjoyed chilled; reheating would unfortunately soften their delightful crunch and is not recommended.
  • Serve these tangy dill cucumbers chilled as a refreshing side with grilled meats, a vibrant addition to sandwiches or charcuterie boards, or simply as a satisfying, healthy snack straight from the jar.
  • For an extra depth of flavor and perfect pickle tang, resist the urge to dive in too soon and let your cucumbers marinate for at least 24 hours in the fridge before enjoying.
