For the brine
- 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 Tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2-3 Tbsp chopped fresh dill and/or chives
- 2 small white onions, thinly sliced (optional)
- In a bowl, combine all the brine ingredients and mix well.
- Cut the cucumbers into thin rounds and add them to the brine. The cucumbers should be covered at least to the top.
- Let marinate for several hours.
These cucumbers will keep for several days in a tightly closed container.
Tips and variations
- The amount of liquid will vary depending on the size of your cucumbers; just multiply the proportions so the liquid covers the cucumbers to the top.
- For a Polish version, you can also add some sour cream
- For an Austrian version, add sugar to the brine (1 tsp).
