  1. Recipe Instructions Prepare Ball brand or Kerr brand jars and closures according to manufacturer's instructions. Wash cucumbers and remove 1/16-inch from blossom end. Cut into 1/4-inch slices. Combine sugar, salt, vinegar and water in a large saucepot. Tie pickling spices in a spice bag; add spice bag to vinegar mixture and simmer 15 minutes. Pack cucumber slices into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Add to each jar; one bay leaf, one garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed and one head of dill. Heat pickling liquid to boiling. Remove from heat. Carefully ladle hot pickling liquid over cucumber slices, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with a nonmetallic spatula. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met -- fingertip tight. Process 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner. At elevations higher than 1,000 feet, boil 2 additional minutes for each additional 1,000 feet elevation. This recipe yields about 5 pints.
