Directions
Make sure the jar and lid you plan to use is clean and dry, you do not need to sterilize as you might with canning because this is a refrigerator recipe
. Wash pickles under cold water the make sure to cut of about a 1/2 inch of each end of the pickles. This is an important step because if you leave the stem the pickled will be bitter.

Pack the cucumber slices, garlic in dill in the jar you have chosen and then pour your vinegar mixture over the top.
Let sit in the refrigerator for 2 days at least before trying. These pickles will last for up to one month if kept refrigerated. You can reuse the brine a few times after pickles are gone.
