Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the vinegar and water mixture.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until the salt dissolves completely.

Prepare 3 cloves of garlic by breaking them up to release their juices.

Add 2 tablespoons of pickling spice blend to a quart container.

Pack the cucumber slices tightly into the jar along with the garlic and dill.

Once the brine is ready, pour the hot brine over the packed vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Seal the jar with a lid, tightening it just until it stops, and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours before consuming.
