4 qts. water
2/3 c. sugar
1 1/3 qts. white vinegar
1 c. salt
2/3 tbsp. turmeric

Bring this mixture to a boil. Drop cucumbers in this mixture for 1-3 minutes. In each jar, place 2 cloves garlic, 2 bay leaves, and dill. Stuff cucumbers on top of these 3 ingredients. Pour liquid mixture into jars, making sure all cucumbers are covered. Seal jars. It takes about 3 weeks for the seasoning to work through the cucumbers.
