Id love to can pickles and i love dill but sweet is ok too. I like them to crisp but i dont like the alum and id heard of techniques where u dont boil the cucumber u put it in raw so while sealing the cucumber/pickle doesnt become mushy. true? i just dont have the recipe for or know if its true? If anyone has any recipes or tips id appreciate it thank u.

    Spicy Refridgerator Pickles

    Ingredients

    12 3 to 4 inch long pickling cucumbers
    2 cups water
    1 3/4 cups white vinegar
    1 1/2 cups chopped fresh dill weed
    1/2 cup white sugar
    8 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
    1 tablespoon pickling spice
    1 1/2 teaspoons dill seed
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)
    4 sprigs fresh dill weed
    Directions
    In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, water, vinegar, chopped dill, sugar, garlic, salt, pickling spice, dill seed, and red pepper flakes. Stir, and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, until the sugar and salt dissolve.
    Remove the cucumbers to three 1 1/2 pint wide mouth jars, placing 4 cucumbers into each jar. Ladle in the liquid from the bowl to cover. Place a sprig of fresh dill into each jar, and seal with lids. Refrigerate for 10 days before eating. Use within 1 month.
