These spicy pickles are delicious and have a nice hint of sweetness. Plan to double the amount of crushed red pepper if you like them really hot and spicy — yum!

Combine cucumbers, water, vinegar, chopped dill, sugar, garlic, salt, pickling spice, dill seed, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Stir and let sit at room temperature until sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 hours.
