Refrigerator Garlic Dill Spears Recipe

Ingredients

6 cloves garlic

peeled

4 teaspoons dill seed

2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

3 pounds kirby cucumbers (or other unwaxed

small-seeded 4- to 5-inch pickling cucumbers)

2 ¼ cups apple cider vinegar

2 ¼ cups water

6 ¾ teaspoons pickling salt

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Divide garlic dill and peppercorns between 2 clean quart jars. Wash cucumbers and trim away blossom ends. Cut each into 6 to 8 spears. Pack spears vertically and snugly into jars.

Step 2

Stir together vinegar water and salt in a small nonreactive pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir and reduce heat if necessary until salt dissolves. Remove from heat. Pour or ladle hot brine into jars covering cucumbers and leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Tap jars gently to remove any air bubbles. Add more brine if necessary to leave 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel.

Step 3

Let cool completely to room temperature about 1 hour. Apply clean lids. Refrigerate at least 48 hours before eating for best flavor. (Flavor improves with time.) Store in refrigerator up to 1 month.
