It is quite easy but it takes time. Here is a simple recipe:

1/2 gallon water vinegar

5 lbs. sugar

1 tsp. celery seed

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. whole cloves

Soak cucumbers in one gallon of lime, filled water for 24 hours. Rinse well. Soak in cold water for 3 hours. Boil together the vinegar, sugar, and spices; pour over pickles. Let stand overnight. Bring to a boil and boil for 35 minutes before putting them in sterilized jars.
