A fast and easy recipe for tangy, crunchy refrigerator pickles flavored with garlic and fresh dill, ready to enjoy in just 24 hours.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600 grams) cucumbers, sliced into spears or rounds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white vinegar (5% acidity)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • 3–4 fresh dill sprigs
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry about 4 cups (600 grams) of cucumbers. Slice into spears 3-4 inches long or 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Stir until dissolved.
  3. Place 3-4 smashed garlic cloves, 3-4 fresh dill sprigs, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and optional 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes into jar(s). Pour brine over aromatics.
  4. Tightly pack sliced cucumbers into the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged in the brine with about 1/2 inch headspace.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours; for best flavor, wait 48 hours.
  6. Taste after 24 hours and adjust seasoning if desired. Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks.

Notes

Use fresh, firm cucumbers for best crunch. Adjust salt and sugar to taste to balance flavor and texture. Keep jars airtight and refrigerated to maintain safety and crispness. For softer pickles, reduce salt or increase water in brine. To re-crisp softened pickles, soak in ice water for 15-20 minutes before serving.
