Ingredients

  • 12-14 cloves garlic peeled
  • 3 cups white vinegar
  • 6 teaspoons salt
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoons celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seed
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seed
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 6-8 Kirby cucumbers quartered lengthwise

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar and salt and return to a boil, stirring until the salt dissolves. Remove from heat.
  • Divide the dill, seeds and peppercorns between 4-5 clean, clear pint jars. Remove garlic from brine and add 2-3 cloves to each jar. Pack the jars tightly with cucumber slices.
  • Return the brine to the heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, pour the brine over the cucumbers to cover completely. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 months.
