Dill Pickles Recipe.

Ingredients:

12 to 14 Persian cucumbers or 8 to 10 pickling cucumbers
4 garlic cloves, halved
2 TSPs mustard seeds
2 TSPs peppercorns
a few good-sized dill sprigs, per jar
2 cups water
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup cane sugar
2 TBSPs sea salt

Recipe Instructions:

To make dill pickle spears, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into quarters.
To make dill pickle chips, thinly slice them horizontally.
Divide the cucumbers among 4 (8-ounce) or 2 (16-ounce) jars.
Divide the garlic, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and dill sprigs among each jar.
Heat the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 1 minute.
Let cool slightly and pour over the cucumbers.
Set aside to cool to room temperature, then store the pickles in the fridge.
Pickle spears will be lightly pickled in 2 days, but their best flavor will start to develop around day 5 or 6.
Pickle chips will be lightly pickled in 1 day, and will become more flavorful every day after that.
Store in the fridge for several weeks.
