   4       c            Cucumber wedges -- quartered 1"
   2       cl           Garlic (optional)
   2       tb           Pickling salt
   2       c            Ice cubes
   1       c            Cider vinegar

   1       tb           Dill seed
     1/2   ts           Crushed red pepper

  Cut large cucumber lengthwise in quarters, then in 1" long pieces.
  
  Combine cucumber, garlic, if desired, and salt in a glass bowl.
  Cover with ice cubes. Let stand in a cool place at least 6 hours or
  overnight. Drain well.
  
  Combine vinegar, water, dill seed, and crushed red pepper in a
  saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add drained cucumbers, return to boil.
  Cover and cook 2 minutes. Remove garlic cloves. Spoon into hot
  sterilized jars. Wipe jar rims. Seal.
  
  Note:

  this recipe did not call for processing in a hot water bath so I
  made half batch and kept them in the fridge. Similar recipe in
  Bernardin Guide to Home Preserving calls for processing 10 minutes
  at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
