Equipment

  • 1 sterilized pint canning jar with lid and screw band
  • Medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 5 pickling cucumbers
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 sprigs fresh dill

Substitutions:

  • You can swap white vinegar for apple cider vinegar if preferred.

Instructions
 

  • Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, trimming off the stems and the blossom ends. Slice the cucumbers lengthwise into spears about ½ inch thick or cut them into ¼-inch thick rounds if you prefer chips.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix together the vinegar, water, honey, and kosher salt. Heat the mixture until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to help the honey dissolve completely.
  • Place the prepared cucumber slices into a sterilized pint-sized canning jar. Make sure to leave about ½ inch of space from the top of the jar. Add the fresh dill on top of the cucumbers.
  • Carefully pour the hot vinegar solution over the cucumbers and dill in the jar, ensuring the cucumbers are fully covered and maintaining the ½-inch space at the top. Clean the rim of the jar, then secure the lid and screw band.
  • Transfer the jar to the refrigerator and let the pickles sit for at least 24 hours before enjoying. For deeper flavor, allow them to chill for up to a week. These pickles will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Notes

  • The pickling cucumbers, often referred to as Kirby cucumbers, are ideal for their firm texture and minimal seeds.
  • Ensure cucumbers are unwaxed, as wax coatings can prevent proper pickling.
  • For those following a strict carnivore diet, be mindful of the honey and carbohydrate content.
  • Adjust the sweetness by reducing honey if preferred, though it balances the tanginess beautifully in this recipe.
