Ingredients

  1. 4 medium cucumbers
  2. 1 cup white vinegar
  3. 1/2 cup grated sugar
  4. 1 tablespoon whole mustard seeds
  5. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  6. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  7. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  9. 4 to 5 sprigs fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into 1/8-inch thick slices.
  2. Remove the dill sprigs from the jar, if using, and chop the dill leaves finely.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the white vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
  4. Add the cucumbers and chopped dill to the bowl, ensuring they are covered by the brine.
  5. If the cucumbers are not fully covered, add up to 1/4 cup of hot water to cover them evenly.
