FUSS-FREE EASY DILL PICKLES, low-sugar/salt, Vegan

There is nothing better than a good dill pickle and home-made reach the next level...
Easy-peasy Home-made Dill Pickles 
'Wow! I love these, I do. Very refreshing.' 'Nicer than I expected. Great cold.' Tasters

67's home made dill pickles* are crisp and crunchy, bathed in an invigorating solution of vinegar, fresh dill, sugar and salt.  

And they are as easy as pie to make.  Basic store cupboard ingredients (though pickling seeds if you have them, are fine).  No jars have to be sterilised, no boiling water baths wrestled with and no storing the pickles for months until they 'ripen'.  Just simple prep, three days in the fridge and they're done.    

They taste fantastic - neither too sweet nor too vinegary.  Family and guests will be very impressed.  

The pickles make an excellent snack, a side for burgers and hot dogs or adding a little assertiveness to dressings and salads.  

The amounts of sugar and salt are low and the solution avoids nasty preservatives.   

Take advantage of low cucumber prices; this recipe won't break the bank.

The pickles will last 1-2 weeks.  

Cost: depending on cucumbers about £3.50
Makes: 1.5 litres

Ingred: 
   
  Brine   
      3.5 cups water
      1.25 cups white vinegar (white wine vinegar for pref. but standard white will do)

      3/4 tbsp salt
      1/2 tsp Dijon mustard or 1 tsp mustard seeds
      3/4 tsp dried coriander or 1 tbsp coriander seeds (not fresh)

   1 kilo/2pounds supermarket cucumber, washed 
   2 cloves garlic, finely sliced 
   2 bunches fresh dill
   7-8 black peppercorns
