A quick and easy recipe for crispy refrigerator dill pickles that are ready in just 24 hours, featuring fresh dill, garlic, and a perfectly balanced vinegar brine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium Kirby or Persian cucumbers, sliced into spears or rounds
  • 2 cups (480 ml) white vinegar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons pickling salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 4–5 sprigs fresh dill
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the cucumbers into spears about 3-4 inches long or into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a mixing bowl or large measuring jug, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons pickling salt, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Stir until salt and sugar fully dissolve.
  3. Into each clean quart-sized glass jar, add 4-5 sprigs fresh dill, 3-4 smashed garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and optional 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  4. Tightly pack the cucumber slices upright or layered into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace at the top.
  5. Pour the brine over the cucumbers and aromatics until fully submerged. Use a clean utensil to push down any floating cucumbers gently. Seal the jar tightly with its lid.
  6. Place the sealed jars in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to develop flavor and crunch. For deeper flavor, wait up to 3 days.
  7. Once pickles have reached your preferred flavor and crunch, open a jar and enjoy. Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks.

Notes

Use fresh, firm Kirby or Persian cucumbers for best crunch. Keep brine cold and cucumbers fully submerged to maintain crispness. Soaking cucumbers in ice water before slicing can improve texture. Avoid overfilling jars and ensure airtight sealing. Pickling salt is preferred over table salt to avoid cloudy brine.
