Steps:
- Prep: Cut cucumber into spears or rounds. Add your chosen optional flavors to a lidded non-reactive container (like a glass jar or ceramic vessel - I used a 32-oz mason jar), then pack in cucumber.
- Liquid: Heat water in either a kettle, the microwave, or on the stove until steaming hot. Stir in salt until dissolved. Stir in vinegar.
- Combine: Pour vinegar mixture over cucumbers so that they are covered (you may not need all of the liquid). Let cool to room temperature, then seal shut and transfer to the refrigerator. (Let pickle for at least 1 hour before digging in, optimally 24 hours.)

Steps:
- Combine the vinegar, salt and sugar in a small non-reactive saucepan (such as stainless steel, glass, ceramic or teflon) over high heat. Whisk until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Transfer the liquid into a bowl and whisk in the cold water. Refrigerate brine until ready to use.
- Stuff the cucumbers into two clean 1-quart jars. Add the coriander seeds, garlic cloves, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, dill sprigs, and chilled brine into jars, dividing evenly. If necessary, add a bit of cold water to the jars until the brine covers the cucumbers. Cover and refrigerate about 24 hours, then serve. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to one month.

REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES
Using only a handful of pantry ingredients, a Mason jar, and a few hours in the refrigerator, you can make classic dill pickles that are just as tangy and flavorful as those prepared according to more traditional (and labor-intensive) canning techniques. Plus this recipe can be scaled with ease, meaning you can make just one jar or ten in a matter of minutes. So if you're a pickle lover but short on time, this method is for you.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cucumbers for different flavors and textures. English cucumbers are mild and crisp, while Persian cucumbers are sweeter and have a thinner skin. Gherkins are small and have a tangy flavor.
- Choose fresh cucumbers that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid cucumbers that are wilted or have soft spots.
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly before slicing them. This will help to remove any dirt or bacteria.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers. This will help to prevent them from becoming bruised or crushed.
- If you want your pickles to be extra crunchy, soak them in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes before adding them to the pickling solution.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor your pickles. Some popular additions include garlic, dill, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes.
- Store your pickles in a cool, dark place for at least 3 days before eating them. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld.
