Instructions

Wash the cucumbers and quarter them. Flatten the garlic with the back of a knife. Place the cucumbers, garlic, dill, and pickling spices in a crock, glass jar, or bowl large enough to allow at least 2 inches of space between the pickles and the top of the container. Bring the salt, vinegar, and water to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Pour the brine over the cucumbers and weigh down with a plate and some cans or jars filled with water. Leave them out overnight, and the next day place contents in the refrigerator in a large jar, or several smaller jars (this includes dill, garlic, and the brine!). After 4-5 days in the fridge, enjoy! They can keep for up to 3 weeks.
