A simple and flavorful recipe for homemade refrigerator pickles, perfect for a quick and delicious snack.
Prepare the cucumbers by washing them thoroughly and trimming the ends.
Trimming the ends helps the cucumbers absorb the brine more effectively.
Place the garlic cloves, dill sprigs, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes at the bottom of the jar.
Distribute the spices evenly for consistent flavor.
In a saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Allow the brine to cool slightly before pouring over the cucumbers to prevent overcooking them.
Pack the cucumbers tightly into the jar, then pour the warm brine over them, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Use a clean utensil to press the cucumbers down and remove air bubbles.
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 3 days before enjoying.
The pickles develop more flavor the longer they sit in the brine.
