I'm taking it that you mean for the very easy dill pickle recipe? Not really sure since it's mom's recipe that I reposted for her here in the cookbook, but I would guess it has something to do with making sure all the dirt and those little black prickly things are all off of them.
And huny had it right about the other ?, you don't really need to do anything to them. Some people cut off the very end of the cuke first (blossom end) but I never have.
Hope your pickles turn out great!

Here is my grandmother's very simple delicious recipe:
Crisp Cucumber Pickles
Put the following in a large jar and shake well:
2 cups cold water
2/3 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 T dry onion flakes
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
Wash, score and slice 4 medium cucumbers -- I use the slicer on my food processor.
Slice one large onion and julienne one large green pepper or smaller red, yellow and green peppers for color.
Pack all the veggies in the jar with the liquid. Cover and refrigerate. Stir and shake a few times a day for the first couple days. The veggies will drop below the brine in about 24 hours and they are ready to eat in about 1 day and get better as each day passes.
I always add extra onions and you can add other veggies like carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, celery and garlic cloves.
Enjoy!

Will it make a difference if I want to slice the pickles prior to packing in jars... dumb question I am sure but plan on using the polish pickle recipe this weekend and DH wants them pre-sliced.
Thanks
