- Wash cucumbers. Drain. Cut cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick slices, discarding ends.
- Combine sugar, salt and vinegar in a large saucepan. Tie spices in a spice bag and add to vinegar mixture. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Keep hot until ready for use. Remove spice bag.
- Pack cucumbers into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Place one head of dill in each jar.
- Ladle hot liquid over cucumbers leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Center hot lid on jar. Apply band and adjust until fit is fingertip tight.
- Process filled jars in a boiling water canner for 15 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check for seal after 24 hours. Lids should not flex up and down when center is pressed.
