Ingredients

  • 2 cups 475 ml water
  • ½ cup 120 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon 15 g sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons 19 g minced garlic
  • 3 dill sprigs
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon dill seed
  • ½ teaspoon whole peppercorns
  • ¼ cup 50 g dried minced onion
  • 5 Persian cucumbers sliced if necessary to fit the jar

Instructions

  • Sterilize a quart canning jar either in the dishwasher, or by pouring boiling water in it and pouring it out. 
  •  Combine all ingredients except cucumbers in a mixing bowl and set aside. Then, place your cucumbers in a large glass vessel, like a Mason jar, vertically so they all fit snugly, but comfortably.
  •  Pour your liquid mixture into the jar until it covers the cucumbers entirely but leaves about ¼ inch (6 mm) of air at the top.
  •  Cover tightly and allow the jar to sit at room temperature for 24 hours. Then, refrigerate until ready to eat. They get better after a couple of days, so if you are patient wait it out!
