Start by slicing the pickling cucumbers into the desired shape. I like to make thick cucumber sticks, but you can also make long slices. Make a single cut along the red hot pepper. This will allow the spice to penetrate the marinade and the cucumbers. Place chili peppers, crushed garlic, mustard seeds, and black peppercorns in glass jars. Carefully pour hot brine over the cucumbers, covering them completely.

Cut the cucumbers as you like, if you are using additional vegetables, cut them as well to fit in the jars. Salt the cucumbers and mix with your hands, set aside. Mix vinegar, water and honey, maybe a tablespoon or more, to prepare the marinade. Then place the cucumbers in glass jars and add some fresh dill, a slice of lime and a clove of garlic to each. Pour the brine into the jars until it completely covers the cucumbers. Leave to marinate for 24 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
