Our garden is absolutely popping this year – and cucumbers are one of our most productive plants!  We’re able to enjoy fresh homegrown cucumbers all summer long… so I’m always looking for new and delicious ways to use them in recipes. This is a family recipe that came from my cousins Mike and Ann – and I adapted it a bit to reduce the sodium a bit and, of course, add way more garlic.
 
These fresh garden pickles with garlic are the perfect addition to a sandwich, burger, or just as a quick snack.  Just a note: this is a refrigerator pickle recipe, and not a canning recipe for long-term storage.  If you are looking for a canning recipe, you can find a ton in this great Ball canning guide.

These Fresh Garlic Pickles Are:

  • Bright
  • Tangy
  • Loaded with Flavor
  • A little Spicy
  • Garlicky
  • Crunchy
  • A great recipe for garden cucumbers
  • Vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, and SO good!

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.

What’s In Garlic Pickles?

See 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?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Layer the cucumbers and dill sprigs, and pour the brine over the cucumbers. I used shallow meal prep containers.
  4. Cover and chill the pickles overnight. Pickles will keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
