1/3 cup kosher salt

4 cups apple cider vinegar

Directions
In a large bowl, gently mix together the cucumbers and the next 5 ingredients. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and bring down to room temperature.
In a large saucepan, combine the vinegar and the next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Rinse the cucumber mixture with cold water, strain and add to the saucepan. Bring it just up to a boil and remove from the heat.
Add equal portions of the mixture to sterilized canning jars, add 1 clove of garlic to each jar and process using standard canning procedures.
These pickles taste even better after a week or two. Make sure to refrigerate any un-sealed jars.
