Thankfully, your search can be over. This easy recipe combines standard elements—dill, garlic, and mustard seeds—with Persian cucumbers instead of the classic Kirby. That’s good news because Persian cucumbers have a high skin-to-flesh ratio, which makes these pickles extra crunchy. Using apple cider vinegar (as opposed to more traditionally used distilled vinegar) adds a distinct tart-sweet note to the spears. Some serving ideas: Serve whole with hors d’oeuvres, chop and stir into salads, or muddle up with vodka for a twist on a dirty martini. Ingredients 1 ½ cups water ⅔ cup apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (1½ tsp.) 2 dill sprigs 8 Persian cucumbers (about 1 lb.), quartered lengthwise Directions Place water, vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, garlic, and dill in a quart-size glass jar fitted with a lid. Shake until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add cucumbers; cover and chill until pickles are crisp, about 24 hours.
