Servings

Ingredients

  • 2½ pound cucumbers cut into rounds or slices
  • 3 tablespoon pickling or kosher salt
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • ⅓ cup minced fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon whole dill seeds
  • 1 cup chopped or sliced red pepper optional
  • 1½ cup sugar
  • 1½ cup cider vinegar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss the cucumber slices with the salt. Let the cucumbers stand for about 2 hours to release moisture and drain.
  • In another bowl, combine the salted cucumbers, garlic cloves, dill and dill seeds, chopped red pepper, sugar, and vinegar. Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours so the cucumbers have a chance to absorb the flavors of the brine.
  • Remove the bowl from the fridge. Pour the cucumbers and brine in freezer bags or containers and store in the freezer. Thaw the pickles for about 8 hours in the fridge before serving.
