Create your own delicious garlic dill pickles with this simple and flavorful recipe.
Place the dill sprigs and garlic cloves at the bottom of a sterilized quart jar.
Ensure the jar is properly sterilized to prevent contamination.
Pack the cucumbers tightly into the jar, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
Arrange the cucumbers vertically for a neat presentation.
Combine the water, vinegar, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Stir the mixture until the salt is fully dissolved.
Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, filling the jar to within 1/4 inch of the top.
Use a funnel to pour the brine without spilling.
Seal the jar with a lid and let it cool to room temperature.
Ensure the lid is tightly closed to maintain freshness.
Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours before consuming.
The flavors will intensify the longer the pickles are left to marinate.
