Crisp pickles made by fermenting gherkin-sized cucumbers in a vinegar brine with garlic and dill. A refreshing, appetizing accompaniment to sandwiches, fried dishes, and barbecue meals.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Pack the cucumbers

15 min

Trim the ends of the fresh cucumbers slightly. Pack them tightly into a sterilized jar with the garlic and dill.

2

Make the brine

12 min

Bring the water, vinegar, and salt to a boil, stirring until the salt dissolves. Let the brine cool until lukewarm. Do not pour it in hot, or the cucumbers will soften.

3

Fill and seal the jar

3 min

Pour the lukewarm brine over the cucumbers until they are covered. Keep all the cucumbers submerged, using a weight on top if needed. Seal the jar tightly.

4

Leave to ferment

Leave the jar to ferment in a cool, dark place for ten to fifteen days. The pickles are ready when the cucumbers change color and taste sour; refrigerate after opening.

Reminder

Important: Choose fresh, firm cucumbers to keep them crisp, and pour the brine in lukewarm. Keep all the cucumbers submerged and sterilize the jars to prevent mold. Let them ferment in a cool, dark place for ten to fifteen days. Refrigerate after opening.
