Plan well ahead these need to chill for a minimum of 12 days, but use with a month, adjust the red pepper flakes to taste, the amount listed with give you mild heat, I use about 3 teaspoons for extreme heat! ----- you will need 12 cucumbers and three 1-1/2-pint wide mouth jars, you may double this recipe but make two separate recipes in two large bowls (12 cucumbers for each bowl) this recipe can also be made to process. These dill pickles are spicy with a hint of sweetness, and worth making :)

- Add in the pickles.
- Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the cucumbers from the brine and divide into three 1-1/2-pint wide-mouth jars (4 cucumbers in each jar).
- Ladle the brine between the jars to cover the cucumbers completely (if you can make certain to get at least a few red pepper flakes in each jar).
- Place 1 sprig of fresh dill into each jar.
