Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh cucumbers, sliced

- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dill (fresh or dried)
- 1 clove garlic (optional)

- Combine vinegar, sugar, water, and spices in a saucepan, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Remove from heat after the sugar dissolves, and let it cool for a bit.
- Pour the brine over the sliced cucumbers in your jar, ensuring they are fully submerged.
