Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat small saucepan over medium high heat. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, salt, and garlic to the pan and cook until it begins to simmer and sugar dissolves. Toss the dill, bay leaf, and sliced cucumbers together in a heat-proof bowl. Pour the simmering liquid over the cucumbers and stir to evenly coat. Allow to cool to room temperature or chill before serving.

Whole family loves these pickles! My brother-in-law has a garden and there are always tons of cucs. Set out looking for an easy pickle recipe. This is it!! I cut sugar back a bit (personal taste) and usually add extra garlic and sometimes will throw in red pepper flakes. It is so easy to customize for different palates. A keeper! Note: because I use bigger cucumbers I will double or triple the pickling liquid.

Great classic pickle! I added crushed red pepper flakes and 2 more cloves of garlic to get it a little more zing.

This is an awesome recipe. I made these to go on top of a BBQ sandwich and they were perfect.

Great idea, thank you!  But super small batch.  I doubled it, and it still wasn't enough for filling 1 jar, so I backfilled with RO Water so as not to alter the flavor with treated water.  Often times these recipes call for 1:1 vinegar to water ratio.    Looking for a way to make them crispier, considering adding some potassium chloride in addition to the sodium chloride (table salt) called for in the recipe.  Anyone have experience with doing that?

This is a great recipe.  I have used it at least 50 times.  I leave out the dill and use if for red onions, too.
