Tree, Bread and Butter pickles are, by definition, sweet. There are many other easy recipes for pickles that will be "pickle" pickles and NOT sweet. I found one such recipe and will also give you the site where there appears to be quite a few simple and tasty recipes. Lots of Pickle Recipesquote:
Dill Pickles
Ingredients
30 - 36 cucumbers, 3 - 4 inches long
3 cups vinegar
3 cups water
3 tbs salt
fresh or dried dill
garlic
mustard seed
Directions
Wash cucumbers. Make a brine of the vinegar, water and salt. Bring to a boil.
Place a generous layer of dill, ½ - 1 clove of garlic, sliced, and ½ tbs of mustard seed in bottom of each jar. Pack cucumbers in jars. When jars are half full, add another layer of dill.
Fill jars ½ inch from top with boiling brine. Screw lids on tight. Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath.
