I prefer these to longer-pickled dills because the dill, cucumber, and lemon juice all retain a freshness that would otherwise diminish with age.
Peel 1/4 of the zest from the lemon and place in a quart container (or similar sized sealable container).
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from each half through a strainer into the container
Slice the cucumber into 1/2-centimeter rounds. Discard the ends, and add the slices to the container.
Add the sugar, salt and dill to the container.
Gently stir with a spoon to distribute ingredients evenly. Seal container.
Refrigerate.
Before serving, gently mix ingredients again, remove the lemon and dill, and strain.
