Instructions

Step 1

Slice the cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices or spears. Set aside

Step 2

To make brine, combine water, vinegar, salt and sugar in medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.

Step 3

Remove brine from heat and cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Add cucumbers to jars. Do not pack them super tight as you'll want room for the brine. Add the fresh dill, smashed garlic, and peppercorns to the jars. Finish by adding enough brine to cover the cucumbers.

Step 5

Seal with an airtight lid and store in the refrigerator for at least a week.

Step 6

Pickles should stay good for 4-6 weeks afterwards.
