My family loves these pickles and they are kept in refrigerator. They don't last long.
Cut cukes in 1/6's and soak overnight in cold water. Use a gallon glass jar and place a layer of dill, onion thinly sliced,cloves of garlic and cukes. Keep repeating layers.
Boil 2 qts. water, 1 qt. white vinegar, 1 1/2 c. sugar and 1/2 c. salt. Pour the brine over the cukes and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Your husband will love them!
