Cucumber Pickles
Cucumber pickles are cucumbers that have been preserved and flavored in a brine solution, typically consisting of vinegar, water, salt, and various spices. They are a popular snack and condiment.
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized cucumbers
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon dill seeds (or fresh dill if available)
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional, for a sweeter pickle)
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into rounds or spears, depending on your preference.
- In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the salt and sugar dissolve.
- In each clean jar, place a few garlic cloves, mustard seeds, dill seeds, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes.
- Pack the cucumber slices tightly into the jars, leaving a little space at the top.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, making sure they are completely covered. Tap the jars to remove any air bubbles.
- Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate the pickles for at least 24 hours before enjoying. They will continue to develop flavor over time and can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
- Enjoy!
