Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, allow the cucumbers to marinate for a full 24 hours. You can substitute apple cider vinegar for a different taste, or use honey instead of sugar for a healthier option. If you prefer milder heat, reduce the crushed red pepper or omit it entirely. Fresh dill can also be used instead of dill seed for a fresher flavor.
