CRISPY DILL PICKLES

My late husband's aunt gave me this recipe many years ago when I was a young housewife. My family loved these pickles.

4 cups water

1 1/3 cups vinegar

1/4 cup salt

1/3 cup sugar

Cleaned and scrubbed pickle-sized cucumbers

Fresh dill sprigs

Garlic Flakes

Onion, optional

Red Pepper, optional

Bring water, vinegar, salt and sugar to a boil. Pack cucumbers into clean, hot canning jars. Add a big sprig of dill and 1 teaspoon garlic flakes to each jar. For a kosher-style pickle, add a chunk of onion and red pepper flakes to each jar. Pour the hot ingredients over the cucumbers in the jars. Seal!
