"I got this recipe from a friend's mother and changed a couple things to suit our family's tastes. They are sort of sweet, sort of tangy and very good! Very similar to Polish Dills." -DeeBee

Preparation

Step 1

Wash and prepare cucumbers, cutting them into wedges and removing the seeds.
Place a clove of garlic and a sprig of dill into each of the three clean, sterile quart jars and then pack the cucumber wedges into the jars.

Step 2

Combine the remaining ingredients and let set in a bowl at room temperature until salt is dissolved, about 30 minutes. Pour brine over pickles and seal jars. (Do not heat the brine before adding to the jars!)
