    I found this with a google search:


    Salt-Free Dill Pickles

    5 small pickling cucumbers
    1/2 small onion, chopped or thinly sliced
    3-4 cloves garlic, chopped or thinly sliced
    1 cup white, distilled vinegar
    1-4 tablespoons white sugar (depending on your desire for sweetness -- 1 tbsp. will be more like traditional dills while 4 tbsp. will be closer to bread & butter)
    2 tablespoons water
    1 tablespoon dill seed
    1 teaspoon mustard seed
    1/4 teaspoon dried red chili flakes (optional)

    Pack cucumber spears or "chips" in a freezer container along with onion & garlic. Combine spices, vinegar, & water in a saucepan. Bring to boiling, reduce heat, & simmer for 1 minute. Take off heat. Once brine has cooled, fill container with vinegar solution leaving 1/2 - 1 inch of headspace. Secure top and shake or stir well to distribute spices. Place in refrigerator. Allow 2-3 days for pickles to absorb flavorings. Shake container or stir mixture every day to redistribute brine & spices. Freeze. Thaw pickles for approximately four hours before serving.


    I haven't tried it so let me know!
