Description
Transform cucumbers into tangy, refreshing pickles that add crunch and flavor to any dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups cucumbers, sliced or cut into spears
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 cups white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the sliced cucumbers with sugar and salt in a large bowl until well-coated.
- Pour the vinegar over the cucumbers and stir with a spatula to coat uniformly.
- Rest the mixture covered at room temperature for about 30 minutes to release water and create brine.
- Jar the marinated cucumbers into a clean jar, pressing down to eliminate air gaps. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For more intense flavors, let them sit overnight. Add garlic, dill, or red pepper flakes for a personalized touch. Avoid slicing cucumbers too thin to maintain crunch.
