Pickle Recipes with Garden Cucumbers
This sweet fresh garlic pickle recipe is the perfect way to use those extra garden cucumbers. Throughout the summer our garden is overloaded with cucumber plants all ripening at once. I make this garden fresh cucumber pickles recipe with my extra cucumbers and dill and a tasty snack is ready in no time.
Enjoy that summer garden bounty with this bright and fresh pickle recipe all summer long. There’s nothing better than seasonal produce right out of the garden – if not your garden, then get fresh cucumbers at your local farmer’s market stand ?
What’s In Garlic Pickles?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Cucumbers: you can use English cucumbers to slice diagonally as I did, or pickling cucumbers to cut into spears.
- Rice vinegar: I love rice vinegar, I always keep this seasoned vinegar stocked in my pantry!
- White Wine Vinegar: not to be confused with normal white vinegar, this white wine vinegar gives the pickles a really nice sweetness and flavor.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
- Fresh garlic
- Fresh dill
- Cumin Seeds – to give the pickles a nice earthy flavor
- Fennel Seeds – for brightness and spice
- Dill Seed – compliments the fresh dill in this recipe, making these pickles pop!
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
Grow Fresh Dill All Year Long
We got this great 6-Pod Aerogarden which is fantastic for growing herbs in the winter. We actually got it when we lived in a smaller apartment, but even now that we own an acreage we still use it year-round! I love growing herbs on my countertop like fresh basil, dill, mint, sage, thyme, parsley, and lemon balm. It uses LED lights and water, so no messy soil needed – you can have fresh herbs at your fingertips any time. I love picking a few springs of parsley to chop on pastas, adding basil leaves to soups, and tossing some dill in with my pasta salads. This Aerogarden is a great gift for anyone who would like fresh herbs… no big kitchen or green thumb required!
How Do I Make Garlic Pickles?
- Slice cucumbers diagonally and place on a kitchen towel. Sprinkle with a little salt to draw out the moisture, allow cucumbers to sit for 1 hour.
- In a sauce pan, heat the rice vinegar, water, white wine vinegar, and salt until the salt dissolves. Add the garlic and seeds/spices to the pot, and rove from heat.
- Layer the cucumbers and dill sprigs, and pour the brine over the cucumbers. I used shallow meal prep containers.
- Cover and chill the pickles overnight. Pickles will keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Will this recipe stay good on the shelf or do you need to refrigerate them?
Hi Darlene, you need to refrigerate these, they keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge, and are not a shelf-stable canning recipe.
