Quick Pickles
Summer worthy Quick Pickles in Apple Cider Vinegar are ready in as little as 30 minutes!.
Ingredients
- 4 or more small cucumbers, cut into spears
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 Tbsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- Fresh dill, or dried
Directions
- Heat the vinegar, sugar, salt and bay leaf in a small pan until the salt and sugar are dissolved. It does not have to come to a boil!
- Once the vinegar mix has cooled slightly, but is still warm, pour over the cucumbers.
- Mix in the dill (I like more vs. less, but its your preference) and smashed garlic to coat all of the pickles.
- Let sit for 30-45 minutes, taste occasionally to make sure it doesn’t get “too vinegary”.
- Take out of liquid when ready to eat. The longer they sit, the stronger the flavor will get.
Note: Drain the vinegar before storing the pickles! Will keep in the fridge up to 5 days, if they last that long

Hi Catherine,
Is the sugar necessary? Does it make the pickles sweet? I like a nice kosher dill.
Best,

No, it doesn’t make it sweet. I am a Dill Pickle girl as well, the salt just takes the edge off the strong vinegar!
