Apple cider vinegar offers a milder flavor and potential health benefits.

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Honey adds sweetness with a unique flavor profile.

Combine canning salt and vinegar in a large saucepan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, pack garlic into 4 sterilized pint jars (about 8 ounces per jar) leaving 1/2-inch of headspace. Add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1 head of dill to each jar. (If using fresh dill, add 1/2 cup to each jar.)

Using a ladle, divide hot pickling liquid between the 4 jars, leaving 1/2-inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles, clean jar rims, center lids on jars, and adjust band to fingertip-tight.

Chill in the refrigerator until pickled as desired (I recommend at least 3 weeks in the refrigerator). Store in refrigerator for up to 4 months.
