Slice one gallon cucumbers thin. Soak with eight small onions for three hours in
1/2 cup salt and cold water to cover. Drain and cover with boiling water. Let
stand in boiling water and mix:
2 cups vinegar
1 cup water
5 cups sugar
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons mixed spices
Put mixed spices, mostly cloves in cheese cloth and bring to a boil with other
syrup ingredients. Drain cucumbers from boiling water and put in boiling syrup.
Let simmer and come to a boil before packing in jars and seal. Do not peel
cucumbers. |
