Quick Dill Pickles

Ingredients

  • 350 grams of cucumbers, cut into spears
  • 1/4 yellow onion. sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 25 grams fresh dill
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup distilled vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp celery seeds
  • 1/4 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1/4 mustard seeds
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1.5 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar 

Directions

  1. In a 24-ounce jar, layer in this order: onion, dill, cucumbers, garlic, and more dill on top if you have room
  2. Add the celery, coriander, and mustard seeds to the jar, as well as the bay leaf
  3. For the brine, add the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a small pot
  4. Heat the brine on the stove, just until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved; it doesn't need to come to a boil
  5. Allow the brine to cool, and once it’s back to room temperature, pour it into the jar
  6. Put a lid on, give ‘em a smooch, and pop them into the fridge

Note

  • I usually give my quick pickles at least 5 days until I eat them, but if you can't wait, a few hours will do
