Easy Dill Pickle Spears

water

white wine vinegar

sugar

salt

black peppercorns

dill seed

mustard seeds

garlic cloves

pickling cucumbers

dill

Combine water, vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, peppercorns, dill seed, mustard seeds, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir. Quarter pickling cucumbers lengthwise, and place in a bowl or jar; add fresh dill. Top with hot vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.


I made these for my son and he said they were too vinegary at first but after 4-5 days they mellowed and were very good and would eat again.  He suggested  maybe adding less vinegar at first, a little more sugar and hickory smoke for flavoring.  Nice it isn't as salty as regular pickles.

Unbelievably easy and turned out perfect! I might cut back just a little on the sugar and add a few hot pepper flakes. Better than most store bought!
