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.

4:  Cover in hot brine, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.  Remove air bubbles and wipe rims with a damp paper towel.

5:  Put on lids and rings and tighten down finger tight.

6:  Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.  Turn off heat and remove lid.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Place jars on counter to cool for 24 hours.
