Pickling Process
Prepare the Cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into spears or rounds, depending on your preference.
Make the Pickling Solution
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, white vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic cloves, dill weed, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Cool and Refrigerate
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Let them pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming for best flavor.
Serve
Enjoy your homemade pickles as a snack or as a side to your meals.
