Instructions

Thinly slice the Persian cucumbers and set them aside.
In a pot, combine white vinegar, water, kosher salt, peppercorns, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Tightly pack the cucumber slices along with crushed red pepper, garlic, and dill in a wide-mouth jar.
Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers until fully submerged.
Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 days before eating.

Notes

Freshness is Key: Use fresh and firm cucumbers without any brown or slimy spots for the best results.
Cool the Brine: Let the brine cool to room temperature before pouring over the cucumbers to maintain their crunch.
Pack Tightly: Make sure cucumbers are packed tightly to prevent floating and ensure even pickling.
Add Aromatics: Experiment with different aromatics like lemon peel, chili peppers, or additional herbs for varied flavors.
Time to Flavor: Allow the cucumbers to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 days for the best flavor development.
