Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water.
Cut the cucumbers into spears or slices based on your preference.
In a saucepan, combine water, vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In sterilized jars, place garlic, dill, and peppercorns at the bottom.
Add the cucumber slices into the jars tightly.
Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers until fully submerged.
Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate.
Let the pickles sit for at least 24 hours before tasting for best flavor.
