A simple and fast recipe for homemade dill pickles that are ready to enjoy in just 24 hours, using fresh cucumbers, garlic, dill, and a tangy vinegar brine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium Kirby cucumbers, sliced into spears or rounds
  • 4–5 fresh dill sprigs
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white vinegar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon pickling salt (kosher or sea salt)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry cucumbers thoroughly. Slice off the ends and cut into spears or rounds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, pickling salt, and granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until salt and sugar dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a clean glass jar, layer cucumber slices with fresh dill sprigs, smashed garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes if using. Press gently to pack without crushing.
  4. Pour the warm brine over the cucumbers until fully submerged, leaving a little room at the top. Use a clean weight if necessary to keep cucumbers submerged.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. Let the pickles sit for at least 24 hours before tasting. For deeper flavor, wait 48 hours.
  6. After 24 hours, open the jar and enjoy the pickles. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks for best quality.

Notes

Use firm, fresh Kirby cucumbers for best crunch. Slice evenly to ensure uniform brine absorption. Keep cucumbers fully submerged in brine to prevent spoilage. Adjust salt and vinegar levels to taste. Store pickles in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks. For softer pickles, slice thinner or reduce soaking time. Rinse pickles lightly if too salty or sour.
