- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp salt flakes
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions
Place the baby cucumbers into a large bowl filled with iced water. Allow the cucumbers to stand for an hour to crisp them so that you get a crunchy pickle.
Drain the cucumbers and pack into sterilized jars with garlic slices and dill sprigs.
Combine the 2 cups water, salt , vinegar and sugar in a large jug, stir until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
Pour into the jars until the cucumbers are covered.
Seal the jars and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before eating and then they will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
