Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Cut cucumbers into 1-inch-square chunks and place in a heatproof bowl with 12 to 15 sprigs of dill. Set aside.

Place peppercorns, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until salt and sugar dissolve, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and pour hot mixture over reserved cucumbers. Let stand 30 to 40 minutes, and serve.
