1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 1/2 teaspoons dill seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

Directions ? Combine all ingredients except dill sprigs in large bowl. Stir, let stand at room temperature 2 hours until sugar and salt dissolve. Transfer 4 cucumbers to each of three 1 1/2-pint...
