Equipment

  • 2 pint jars (I use 742 Weck jars)

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 4 cups sliced cucumbers (about 1 ½ lbs)
  • 1 tsp pickling spice separated

Instructions

  • Prepare the brine: In a saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Place the brine over medium heat and let it come to a boil.
    1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • Prepare the cucumbers: Slice the cucumber into chips or spears, depending on personal preference and desired shape. Pack the cucumbers into jars, leaving about ½ inch headspace. Then sprinkle about ½ tsp of pickling spice into each jar.
    1 tsp pickling spice, 4 cups sliced cucumbers (about 1 ½ lbs)
  • Add the brine: Pour the hot brine over the top of the pickles. Place a lid on each jar and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pickles to sit in the brine for two days before enjoying.

Notes

This recipe is made for 2 pint jars. I love to keep my quick pickles in 742 Weck jars, which are just about 1 pint.
