    ¾ cup white vinegar
    ¼ cup sugar
    4 cloves garlic, chopped

    1/2 tblsp pickling spice
    ¾ tsp dill seed
    ½ tsp red pepper flakes
    1 tsp cayenne pepper
    2 springs of fresh dill

    NOTES: I love mixing the baby peeled carrots with thick slices of pickling cucumber - great to snack on!

    Mix all ingredients well, until the sugar dissolves, except cucumbers. When sugar has dissolved add in the cucumbers.
    After a day they should be ready depending on how you like them. Keeping them in their liquid for many weeks, if you can wait that long to eat them!

    Peel and then dice the cucumber, sprinkle salt on it and leave in a colander, place a weighted plate on top of the cucumber to help drain the liquid. Dry the cucumber with a paper towel.

    In a food processor, add the garlic, run the processor, then add lemon juice and while running the processor drizzle the olive oil in slowly. Mix with the herbs, S&P and cucumber, stir all into the yogurt. Let sit in the refrigerator for a few hours so the flavors can merge together.
