Quick Sweet-and-Sour Pickle Spears

Persian cucumbers, quartered lengthwise

apple cider vinegar

sugar

salt

mustard seeds

Fit the cucumbers, dill and garlic into a 1-quart Mason jar. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour the hot mixture into the jar with the cucumbers and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and preferably overnight. The pickles will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.

LOVE THEM... Thank you!  (My sons thanks you, too!)<br /><br />QUESTION: Which jars did you use?  I love the look of them.  Where did you get them?

I ate the whole jar! Nobody else knows how good these are yet. 

These were great!  I used 4 of the cucumbers because they came 4 in a pack.  My package of dill was kind of lame, so I could only use a bit of it.  But they end result was really yummy.  I did use 2 cloves of garlic, smashed a bit.

I loved it!  Perfect amount of sweet and sour.  The only thing I changed was adding lots of dill.  The pickiest eater in the house ate half of the jar!

I followed the recipe exactly and the next day all I tasted was cucumber and vinegar.  I added another package of dill sprigs, and made a simple syrup to add to the jar.  Let's see if it needs more doctoring tomorrow.  I think the next time I will use white vinegar instead.

Easy to make.  Hubby and son-in-law love them!  I'm more a sweet pickle gal but they were good.   Only thing I changed was I made spears and slices in the same jar.  To me, the slices seemed to be crispier.  Definitely a keeper recipe!<br />

Just made these and they were wonderful! Scared to make pickles and they turned out great. My husband and I loved them. I will be putting them in homemade potato salad.

I made a double batch my first time and my husband didn't want to give up the 2nd bottle.  Looking forward to making this and sharing with friends, coworkers, etc.  What a fun and great recipe!

These are excellent! Easy and fun to make. I've made them three times in two days, you have to try them.
