Quick and Easy Crunchy Dill Pickles

Amy Cross
I love making these Quick and Easy Crunchy Dill Pickles as I harvest my pickling cucumbers from my garden. But you can buy pickling cucumbers from a produce stand or farmer’s market and make as many jars as you wish. They are pickled and stored in your refrigerator - no canner required!

Notes

  • These Crunchy Dill Pickles are good for a few months. The pickling flavor will get stronger the longer they are stored in brine.
  • Adding a grape leaf to the jar is optional, but will keep your pickles crunchier for longer.
