Jean, is this it? I found it on Denise's Blog.
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water, plus more, if needed
2 teaspoons each: kosher salt, pickling spice
1 large pickling cucumber, cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 Combine cider vinegar with 1/2-cup of water, salt and pickling spice in a small saucepan. Heat to a boil.
2 Place cucumber in a clean, dry glass container just large enough to hold all the slices. Pour boiling brine over cucumber slices to cover completely. If all cucumbers are not submerged, add cold water to cover. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour. Pickles will keep for about 10 days.
I chilled these for 2 hours before we put them on the burgers. They had an ever so slight sweetness to them but the crunch and pickle flavor was such a superior flavor than any store bought pickle.

Tada! And yes Jean I am working on the next burger for Tuesday. I will say I believe prosciutto will be involved.

Denise, I noticed there is no sugar in your recipe. Is that correct? I like any kind of pickles, so will try your recipe.

Yes they get their sweetness from the cider vinegar instead of using distilled.
