Soak whole cucumbers overnight in cold water and 1/2 ts alum.

Then wash and slice as desired. Pack into hot jars - to each jar add
1-1/2 ts dill seed and add 1 to 3 whole garlic cloves.

Mix vinegar, water, and salt. Boil and pour over cucumbers in hot
jars and seal.

Brine will cover about 8 quarts of pickles.

Notes: Can slice mine several different ways - but David likes them
the best very, very, thin to put on hamburgers and salads.
