-
Seal Jars: Secure the lids on the jars tightly.
-
Chill and Store: Place the jars of pickles in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 24 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop fully.

Chef’s Tips:
- For extra crunch, you can add a few ice cubes to each jar before pouring in the brine.
- Feel free to customize your pickles by adding thinly sliced onions or peppers to the jars along with the cucumbers.
- These pickles make fantastic gifts! Simply decorate the jars with ribbon or twine and attach a personalized label.
