Combine water, vinegar and salt in a large stockpot and bring to a boil on the stove.
Cool to room temperature.
Wash cucumbers and peel garlic.
Add two cloves of garlic to each jar and 1-2 sprigs of dill. (If using a gallon jar, add 8 cloves of garlic and 4-6 dill sprigs).
Pack jars with cucumbers,(it's really easy if they are quartered, but you have to experiment more when they are whole.)
Ladle brine over cucumbers, leaving 1/2" headspace at the top..
Put lidw on and place in the refrigerator to"pickle, ferment" for at least 2 days.
Full flavor is reached after 7-10 days.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
