A quick and simple refrigerator dill pickles recipe that delivers crisp, tangy pickles in just 24 hours without boiling or canning, perfect for beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) fresh pickling cucumbers, sliced into spears or rounds
  • 4–5 fresh dill sprigs
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt (or pickling salt)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry cucumbers thoroughly. Slice into spears about 3-4 inches long or rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, kosher salt, and sugar. Warm gently over medium heat, stirring until salt and sugar dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Place fresh dill sprigs, smashed garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes (if using) into the bottom of a clean quart-sized glass jar.
  4. Tightly pack cucumber slices on top of the spices, leaving about half an inch of headspace at the top.
  5. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers until fully submerged. Use a utensil to press down cucumbers to remove air bubbles. Seal the jar tightly.
  6. Refrigerate the jar for at least 24 hours before eating. For deeper flavor, let sit up to 3 days.
  7. Use a clean fork or tongs to remove pickles from the jar. Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks.

Notes

Use fresh, firm pickling cucumbers for best crunch. Cool the brine before pouring to avoid softening cucumbers. Press cucumbers down to remove air bubbles. Store refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks for best flavor and texture.
