Ingredients
 ▢1 large cucumber preferably an English cucumber, sliced thin
 ▢2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
 ▢1 cup distilled white vinegar
 ▢1 cup water
 ▢¼ cup granulated sugar
 ▢1 teaspoon black peppercorns
 ▢1 teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
1. Place sliced cucumbers and dill in a quart-size mason jar.

2. Heat remaining ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until

simmering.

3. Pour vinegar mixture into the jar with the cucumbers and dill. Let sit at
room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using. If you are not eating
them immediately, cover and refrigerate the cucumbers once the mixture has
cooled to room temperature. The cucumbers are best fresh but will keep in the
fridge for a week.

Notes
Winter variation: Omit the dill and the peppercorns and add 10-12 allspice
berries to the brine instead.
