Wash the cucumbers thoroughly.
Slice the cucumbers into spears or rounds.
In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.
Add smashed garlic, dill seeds, mustard seeds, and peppercorns to the boiling mixture.
Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool.
Pack the cucumber slices tightly into sterilized jars.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Add fresh dill sprigs on top.
Seal jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before enjoying.
