    Ingredients

    • 3 pickling cucumbers sliced length-wise into 4 spears each
    • 4 garlic cloves peeled & smashed
    • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
    • 1 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
    • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Slice the cucumbers and smash the garlic.
    • Place the garlic in the bottom of a pint-sized jar.
    • Pack the cucumbers (vertically) into the jar on top of the garlic. You want to place them so they are snugly fit and will not rise when brine is added.
    • Sprinkle chili flakes into the jar.
    • In a sauce pan over low heat combine water, vinegar, salt and sugar.
    • Heat, while stirring, just until salt and sugar are dissolved.
    • Pour this brine over your packed cucumbers in the jar until they are just covered.
    • Let sit uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until jar is only slightly warm to touch.
    • Screw a lid on tightly and place in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving.
    • Enjoy!
