the cucumbers into pint jars as tightly as possible. Poke in 2
|
springs of dill. Bring the cider vinegar, water, salt and garlic
|
cloves (12 to 16 cloves depending on your taste) to a boil. Boil for

|
one in each jar (or to taste) while the brine cools slightly. Pour
|
the hot brine into the jars and seal. Makes 12 Pints.
