In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, sugar, vinegar and salt to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low for 15 minutes, and then let cool slightly.
Slice the cucumbers into four spears each. Check the length of your cucumber spears, and trim them if needed so that they fit completely into the jars.
Place the cucumber spears into the jars, and add the fresh dill in between them.
Add the garlic slices and pickling spices to the jars with the cucumber spears, distributing them evenly.
Carefully pour the brine over the cucumber spears.
Seal the jars with the lids, and place into the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving.
Pickles can be refrigerated and used for up to one month.
