3. 4 teaspoons kosher salt
4. 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
5. 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
6. 3/4 teaspoon dill seeds
7. 2 cups hot water
8. 2 pounds kirby cucumbers, sliced 1/4 inch thick
9. 3/4 cup coarsely chopped dill
10. 3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

1. In a large, heatproof measuring cup, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and dill seeds with the hot water and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Let the brine cool.
