Ingredients

2 cups cucumber slices, peeled and sliced 1/4" thick
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar : distilled white vinegar, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar for Paleo (which is the one in the photos); all 3 versions are great.
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon dill weed dried, or 1 sprig fresh dill
1 clove garlic smashed

Instructions

In small saucepan, bring to a boil water, vinegar, salt, dill and optional garlic.
Fill 2 cup mason jar with cucumber slices. Pour hot brine over cucumbers, including garlic and dill.
Leave the hot jar out and uncovered until it cools to room temp.
Once fully cooled, cover. Refrigerate until chilled. Marinate 24 to 48 hours for the best pickle flavor and texture, or eat once chilled, as they're quite good the same day.
Easy Pickled Cucumbers last in the fridge for 2 weeks, and maybe longer.
