Pack 2 quart sized jars tight with cucumbers (that have been sliced or speared), garlic, and lots of fresh dill.
Sprinkle with red pepper, flakes if desired, and pour brine into jars until it reaches about 1/2″ from the top of the jar.
Add lids and screw on tight. Let sit on counter until they are room temperature. Place in refrigerator.
They will last at least month in the refrigerator.

Notes
If you want CRUNCHY pickles, allow brine to cool completely before adding to jars. A hot brine slightly cooks the pickles. They'll still be crunchy, but a little softer.These pickles should refrigerate several days, but you can sample them after 24 hours if you’d like!
