Ingredients

⅔ cup distilled white vinegar
⅓ cup water
1 ¼ tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 cloves garlic whole
1 tsp. peppercorns
1 pinch red pepper
3 dill sprigs
4-5 cocktail cucumbers cut into 4 spears

Instructions

Add vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a medium-sized pot or sauce pan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking occasionally, or until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let sit while preparing the jars.
Place garlic cloves, peppercorns, red pepper flake, and dill sprigs in the bottom of a 16-oz. mason jar.
Add cucumber spears to the jar in a vertical orientation. Pour warm vinegar solution over cucumbers and add additional water as needed to completely cover the cucumbers.
Refrigerate pickles at least overnight or up to 3-4 days for the best results. Pickles will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 months and will slowly lose their crispness after that.

Notes

Nutritional information is an estimate based on only half of the solution being consumed.
A 16-oz. mason jar works best. The wide mouth jars will also work equally as well.

Meal Prep and Storage

To Prep-Ahead: Refrigerate pickles at least overnight or up to 3-4 days for the best results.
To Store: Keep pickles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 months. This is the ideal time frame to maintain their crisp and crunchy texture. After this time they will begin to get soft and will not have that same delicious crunch.
