While bringing this mixture to a boil, wash and dry the cucumbers.  Keep cucumbers in the refrigerator prior to using if you want a crisp crunch with your pickles. Fill the jar with cucumbers.  

Once the vinegar mixture has boiled, pour it into the mason jar to the top. Please be sure your mason jar is at room temperature prior to using. After topping off the jar, place the lid on it.  Keep at room temperature until the contents are cool enough to place in the refrigerator.  Keep the cucumbers in the brine for 24 hours, then enjoy.  Pickles keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
