--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4       c            Cucumber wedges quartered 1"
  2                    Cloves garlic, optional
  2       tb           Pickling salt
  2       c            Ice cubes
  1       c            Cider vinegar
  1       c            Water
  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 min.
 Remove garlic cloves.  Spoon into hot sterilized jars.
 Wipe jar rims.  Seal.

 MY NOTE:  this recipe did not call for processing in a
 hot water bath so I made 1/2 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 ft.

 Makes about 4 cups, each serving 1/4 cup, 1++ extra 2
