Votes: 3

Time: 20 minutes plus marinating time
Complexity: easily
Quantity: 1 jar with a volume of 1 liter.

Sliced cucumbers are marinated with garlic, dill, and mustard seeds in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, salt, and sugar. The preparation itself takes no more than 20 minutes, and they're ready to eat within a couple of hours. However, if you want a more mellow, vibrant flavor, refrigerate them overnight. This results in a balanced sweet and sour taste with hints of spice. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and the flavor will intensify with each passing day.
