How to Make Overnight Pickles

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir until sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
  2. Add 1/4 cup fresh dill (or 2 tablespoons dried dill), 2 pounds pickling cucumbers (sliced into 1/4 inch rounds), and 1 medium onion (thinly sliced).
  3. Gently stir to ensure all the cucumbers and onions are coated with the brine.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight. Give it a gentle stir every 4-6 hours to ensure even pickling.
  5. Once the pickles have reached your desired level of crispness (usually after at least 12 hours), they're ready to enjoy! Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
