\u00a0Ingredients<\/h3>\n

For the Pickles<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 6\u20138 small cucumbers, sliced into rounds (about 1\/4 inch thick)<\/li>\n
  • 3\u20134 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust depending on how spicy you like them)<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon coriander seeds (optional but adds great flavor)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For the Brine<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1 cup white vinegar<\/li>\n
    • 1 cup water<\/li>\n
    • 1 tablespoon salt<\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon sugar<\/li>\n
    • \u00bd teaspoon onion powder (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u00a0Instructions<\/h3>\n

      Step 1: Prepare the Cucumbers<\/strong>
      \nWash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Slice them into thin rounds about \u00bc inch thick. You can also cut them into spears if you prefer pickle spears instead of slices.<\/p>\n

      Step 2: Prepare the Jar<\/strong>
      \nUse a clean glass jar with a lid. Add the garlic, dill, red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and coriander seeds to the bottom of the jar.<\/p>\n

      Step 3: Add the Cucumbers<\/strong>
      \nPack the cucumber slices tightly into the jar on top of the spices. Try to fit as many as possible without crushing them.<\/p>\n

      Step 4: Make the Brine<\/strong>
      \nIn a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and onion powder. Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely. There is no need to boil it for long\u2014just until everything is dissolved.<\/p>\n

      Step 5: Pour the Brine<\/strong>
      \nCarefully pour the warm brine over the cucumbers in the jar until they are completely covered.<\/p>\n

      Step 6: Cool and Refrigerate<\/strong>
      \nLet the jar cool to room temperature. Once cooled, close the lid and place the jar in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

      Resting Time<\/h3>\n

      For the best flavor, let the pickles sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours<\/strong> before eating. However, they taste even better after 2\u20133 days<\/strong> as the cucumbers absorb more of the garlic, dill, and spicy flavors.<\/p>\n

        \u00a0Tips for the Best Pickles<\/h3>\n
