Put 1/4 tsp dill seeds, or 1 head fresh dill weed, into each of the 2 clean quart jars. Fit the cucumber spears an compactly as possible into the jars and pour the hot vinegar mixture over them. The cucumbers should be completely covered with the liquid, and there should be at least 1/2 inch of headroom at the top. Screw down the lids and process the jars in a boiling-water bath for 20 minutes. Allow the pickles to cool, check the seals, and label the jars. The pickles will improve in flavor if left to ripen for a few months. Yields approximately 2 quarts.
