How to Make Quick Sweet Pickles

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. While the vinegar mixture cools, combine 2 pounds small pickling cucumbers (or Beit Alpha cucumbers if you can find them!), 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup fresh dill (packed), and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns in a large non-reactive bowl (glass or stainless steel).
  4. Add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil to the cooled vinegar mixture and whisk well to combine.
  5. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and other vegetables in the bowl.
  6. Gently toss to ensure all vegetables are coated.
  7. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Store refrigerated for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
