Quick Pickles

• 8 medium cucumbers
• 1/2 cup fresh dill
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons mustard seed
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• Optional: Other spices (black pepper, cayenne pepper, etcetera)

Wash the cucumbers. Score along the sides. Slice into 1/2-3/4" slices, diagonally (so that the surface has a larger 'face' on it). Combine with the fresh dill.

In a saucepan, combine other ingredients over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar melts and it begins to simmer.

Pour sugar-vinegar solution over cucumbers. Chill. Serve whenever (room temperature or cold).
