Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large pot, combine 2 cups water, 2 tbsp kosher salt, and 1 cup vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer while you prepare the cucumbers.
-
Step 2.
While the brine simmers, wash and cut 2 lb cucumbers (preferably small ones) into your desired pickle shape (slices, spears, or chunks).
-
Step 3.
Place the cut cucumbers in a large bowl. Add 4 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed or sliced) and a handful of fresh dill. Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, garlic, and dill, ensuring everything is submerged.
-
Step 4.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Then cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
