Dill Pickles in a jar ### Ingredients:

4 pounds of pickling cucumbers
1 quart of water
1 quart of white vinegar
1/2 cup of salt
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon of mustard seeds
1 tablespoon of dill seeds
1 tablespoon of black peppercorns
4-6 sprigs of fresh dill
Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick!

Instructions:

Start by giving those cucumbers a little spa treatment. Wash them thoroughly and trim the ends. Here’s a secret: if you soak them in ice water for about 2 hours, they will be crispy and fantastic!
Next up, let’s cook! In a large pot, combine the water, vinegar, and salt. Bring it to a boil and stir until the salt dissolves. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let it cool a little.
While that mixture is cooling, grab some jars! Sterilize them by running them through the dishwasher or boiling them in hot water. Your pickles deserve the royal treatment!
In each jar, pack those cucumbers tightly with the garlic, mustard seeds, dill seeds, black peppercorns, and fresh dill. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you’re feeling spicy!
Once your jars are packed, pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, leaving about a half-inch of space at the top. Seal them tightly with the lids.
Now, it’s time for the magic to happen! Place your jars in the fridge and let the pickles marinate for at least 48 hours. The longer they sit, the crunchier and spicier they get!
After the wait (go ahead, do a dance, you’ve earned it), your homemade dill pickles are ready to shine! Enjoy them on sandwiches, burgers, or straight out of the jar (no judgment here).

So there you have it! A crunchy dill pickle recipe that’s simple, fun, and absolutely delicious. Get excited to impress your friends and family with your new culinary skills. Happy pickling!
