Yup. I soaked my cucumbers in cool bath overnight to loosen the dirt so I didn't have to scrub hard to clean them. I'm told if you soak them with alum it makes them crisper, but I haven't tried it personally.
1 Qt. white vinegar
3 Qt. water
3/4 C. pickling salt
fresh garlic
alum
fresh dill
Mix vinegar, water & salt and bring to a boil.
Put 2 garlic cloves, one large dill head and 1/8tsp alum in each jar.
Pack jars with cukes and pour in boiling vinegar solution to within an 1/2 inch of the rim.
Put lids and rings on tight.
Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath (with water at least an inch over the lids).
Remove and let sit for 24 hours. Ready to eat after 2 weeks.
