Quick Refrigerator Spicy Garlic-Dill Pickles

My daughter has always loved cucumbers; it was her first (and only for a while!) vegetable she would eat, so it was no surprise that she loved pickles too. She has never cared for sweet pickles, only tangy, salty, spicy, and garlicky pickles. I surprised her with a couple of jars of these quick refrigerator spicy garlic-dill pickles, and she was happy, but was sad she had to wait 24 hours to eat them. Thankfully, she was patient and waited until the following day after school to give them a try. Her patience paid off, because she LOVED these pickles and devoured half a jar in one sitting.

Quick Refrigerator Spicy Garlic-Dill Pickles

Ingredients:

• 2 pint-sized jars with lids
• 2 English cucumbers, scrubbed & sliced into thick coins
• 8 cloves of garlic, peeled & smashed, divided
• 2 handfuls of fresh dill, to taste, divided
• 1 tbsp coriander seeds, divided
• 1 tbsp peppercorn seeds, divided
• 1/2-1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, to taste, divided
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp salt
• ⅔ cup vinegar
• 1 cup water

How to Make Quick Refrigerator Spicy Garlic-Dill Pickles

Wash two mason jars and lids in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry.

Clean the English cucumbers well, then trim the ends before slicing them into thick coins.

Place four cloves of smashed garlic, a large handful of fresh dill, 1½ teaspoons of coriander seeds, 1½ teaspoons of whole peppercorns, and ¼-½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, to taste, into each jar.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, kosher salt, and white vinegar. Whisk vigorously until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Add the water to the mixture and mix.

In the two clean mason jars, tightly pack the cucumber coins into each jar. Once full, pour brine evenly over the cucumbers.

Tap the jars on the counter to release any air bubbles and top off the jars with extra water if any cucumbers are exposed.

Place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings until they are tight.

Leave the jars in the fridge for 24 hours before tasting. The pickles last up to one month refrigerated.
