Ingredients

8-10 mini cucumbers or Persian cucumbers, washed and cut into spears

4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 large bunch fresh dill, torn

These Dill Pickles are quick, easy, and full of tangy flavor! Using mini or Persian cucumbers, you’ll create delicious homemade pickles that are perfect for snacking, sandwiches, or as a refreshing side. This recipe uses a flavorful brine prepared in the Instant Pot, bringing a zesty taste to your table in record time.

INSTRUCTIONS

Add water, vinegar, kosher salt, sugar, pickling spices, and garlic to the Instant Pot. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté on High/More for 5 minutes. Bring the brine to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally until the salt and sugar dissolve completely, about 5 minutes.
While the brine heats, pack the cucumber spears and fresh dill into clean, sterilized jars.
Once the brine is ready, carefully pour the hot brine over the cucumber spears in each jar, filling each jar to submerge the cucumbers fully.
