A fast and easy no-canning method to make crunchy, tangy dill pickles using simple ingredients and refrigerator storage. Ready to eat in 24 hours with a fresh, garlicky bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 small to medium pickling cucumbers (about 1.5 pounds / 700 grams), sliced into spears or coins
  • 3–4 sprigs fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon dill seeds (optional)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, smashed or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white vinegar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon pickling salt or kosher salt (no iodine)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse cucumbers thoroughly under cold water and slice into 3-inch spears or 1/4-inch thick coins.
  2. Place sliced cucumbers in a large bowl and cover with ice water. Soak in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to keep them crisp.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, pickling salt, and sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring until salt and sugar dissolve. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  4. In a clean quart-sized glass jar or container, add fresh dill sprigs, smashed garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and optional red pepper flakes.
  5. Drain cucumbers from ice water and pat dry with a clean towel. Pack cucumbers tightly into the jar around the dill and garlic.
  6. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers until fully submerged, pressing down gently to remove air pockets.
  7. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. Let pickles marinate for at least 24 hours before tasting; best flavor after 2-3 days.

Notes

Soaking cucumbers in ice water before pickling is essential for crispness. Always use cooled brine to avoid soggy pickles. Use pickling salt or kosher salt without iodine to keep brine clear. Store pickles refrigerated and consume within 2-3 weeks for best texture and flavor.
