Crispy Dill Pickles Easy Refrigerator Style

7 Pickling Cucumbers Fresh Picked if possible
20 fresh dill sprigs ( I would use 30)
6 garlic cloves thickly sliced
1 & 1/2 Quarts water
2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup + 2 heaping tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup coarse sea salt
2 TBS pickling spice
3 dashes of red pepper flakes ( Optional)
Slice each cucumbers into 6 spears. In a large glass bowl combine cucumber spears, garlic & dill. In a large cooking pot mix water, vinegar, sugar, salt & pickling spice. Bring to a boil stirring until sugar & salt are dissolved. Pour over your cucumber mixture. Cover or put into a large glass jar with a lid & refrigerate at least 24 hours. This is a variation of Simple & Delicious Easy Refrigerator Pickles. These pickles taste like Clausen Pickles.
