  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      qt            Vinegar
  12                    Cucumbers -- up to 14, sliced
   1      qt            Water
     1/2  c             Canning salt or table salt
   1                    Dill sprig
   3      cl            Garlic
   1      ds            Mustard seed

Very simple recipe. Mix salt, vinegar, and water together. I nuke
mine for about 20 minutes in the microwave (making sure to stir the
salt in) while I'm cutting slices. Put a sprig of dill and a couple
of garlic cloves in along with a shake of mustard seed or whatever
type of spices you perfer in your clean, water bathed jar. If packed
tight makes enough juice for about 8 pints. Water bath for about
10 minutes.

Notes:

You can also use this same method and refrigerate the pickles instead
of water bath. They're good for about 2 months. They are also
crisper. This is an approved Ball method and measurements for
refridgerated pickles.
