Directions

Combine cucumbers, onions, & salt, and let stand for three hours. Drain.

Combine seasonings and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Add cucumbers & onions. Heat to simmering and pack hot. Be careful to avoid boiling, as that makes the pickles soft. Pack hot into clean Ball jars and seal immediately.

Notes - I'm not sure if these need to be processed in a water bath or not.
