    1 cup distilled white vinegar
    4 1/4 cups water
    fresh pickling cucumbers - sliced, quartered, OR whole
    4-6 cloves (per jar) garlic - peeled, chopped

    -Tightly pack 1 qt. wide-mouth jars with cucumbers.
    -Wedge garlic, dill, peppers, and peppercorns between cucumbers.
    -Pour brine mixture into jar, leaving 1/4" space at the top.
    -Cover tightly with lids.
    -Place covered jars upright in a large pot, making sure not to stack them.
    -Fill pot with enough water to cover jars and bring to a boil.
    -Boil for 5 minutes, them remove pot from heat, placing it in the sink.
    -Slowly run cool water into the pot. Doing this too quickly can make the jars crack.
