Pickled cucumbers in a bag - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute dried dill for fresh. Use 1 teaspoon of dried dill for every tablespoon of fresh dill called for in the recipe.
They will stay fresh for about 3-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. For best texture, consume them within this time.
Absolutely! The sugar can be omitted or replaced with a sugar substitute like erythritol for a low-carb version, though the flavor profile may slightly change.
Small to medium-sized, firm cucumbers with thin skins, like Persian or Kirby cucumbers, work best as they absorb flavors well and stay crisp.
Certainly! Feel free to experiment with spices like mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor.
