If you want a quick homemade pickle recipe this Refrigerator Garlic Dill Pickles recipe is it. You can be enjoying the crisp and garlicky flavor of homemade pickles in just a few hours.
Sterilize jars and lids by boiling them or running through the dishwasher. Place one or two whole garlic cloves, four dill sprigs, peppercorns, and hot pepper flakes into the bottom of each prepared jar.
Wash the cucumbers and trim off the ends. Slice them into thin rounds or cut into spears, depending on your preference. Pack the prepared cucumbers tightly into the seasoned jars, leaving appropriate space at the top.
Prepare the pickle brine by combining water, vinegar, and pickling salt in a pot. Bring the mixture to a full boil, then carefully pour the hot brine over the cucumbers and secure the lids.
