1: Cut ends off of the cucumbers and then slice to about 1/4 inch thickness.
2: Combine Vinegar, Water and Salt in a large stainless steel pot and and bring to a boil.
3: Pack cucumbers into jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Add 2 heads of dill, 1/2 tsp mustard seed and 2 peppercorns to each jar. If using pickle crisp, add 1/2 tsp to each jar now.
