Make these easy refrigerator dill pickles for a crunchy, tangy snack or sandwich topping. This no cook pickle recipe is faster than store-bought and ready in hours.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pickling cucumbers, washed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pickling salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Prepare your cucumbers by slicing them into uniform 1/4-inch rounds. Pack the cucumber slices tightly into two clean pint-sized glass jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, water, pickling salt, and sugar until the salt and sugar dissolve completely. This is your quick pickle brine.
  3. Divide the smashed garlic cloves, fresh dill sprigs, and black peppercorns evenly between the two jars, placing them around the cucumbers.
  4. Carefully pour the brine over the cucumbers in each jar, making sure the vegetables are fully submerged. Tap the jars gently to release any trapped air bubbles.
  5. Seal the jars tightly with lids. Let the jars sit on the counter at room temperature for 1 hour.
  6. Transfer the jars to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours before eating for best flavor, though they are ready to eat after 24 hours for maximum crispness.

Notes

  • For extra crisp refrigerator pickles, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of pickling lime to the brine, but rinse the cucumbers well before brining if you do this.
  • These homemade pickles taste best when eaten within two weeks.
  • If you prefer bread and butter refrigerator pickles, substitute the dill and peppercorns with 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion and 1/2 teaspoon celery seed.
