4 to 6 Kirby cucumbers
1 small bunch fresh dill, cleaned
12 whole black peppercorns
1 cup white-wine vinegar

  • Pack the Cucumbers: Place the prepared cucumbers in a clean glass jar or jars. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, making sure they are completely submerged. Cover the jars tightly.
  • Store the Pickles: Store the pickles in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours before eating. The longer they are stored, the more flavorful they will become.
