Honey adds sweetness with a different flavor profile.

garlic

💰Cheaper: onion powder

Garlic powder provides flavor without the need for fresh garlic.

dill

Parsley gives a fresh taste, while thyme is more economical.

Cut cucumbers into slices for sandwiches and spears for snacking, filling two jars with a mix of both.

Peel garlic cloves and crush them slightly with the side of a knife to release flavor.

Pack the jars with the crushed garlic and desired amount of crushed red pepper, adjusting for spice preference.

Divide the cucumber slices and spears between the jars, stuffing them in tightly.

Top the jars off with hot water, heated using an electric kettle, microwave, or stovetop.

Seal the jars tightly and shake them well to dissolve the sugar and salt in the vinegar and mix the ingredients.

Let the pickles sit for at least 24 hours for better flavor, though they can be eaten right away.

Store the jars in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
