Ingredients:

  1. 1 - peck small cucumbers sliced lengthwise
  2. 1 pints - canning salt
  3. 3 tablespoons - alum
  4. 2 quarts - cider vinegar
  5. 8 pints - sugar
  6. 4 teaspoons - pickle spice
  7. 1 - peck small cucumbers sliced lengthwise
  8. 1 pints - canning salt
  9. 3 tablespoons - alum
  10. 2 quarts - cider vinegar
  11. 8 pints - sugar
  12. 4 teaspoons - pickle spice

Directions:

Cut small cucumbers in slices length-wise (4 to 5 per pickle). Place in 2 gallon crock (#3 on side). Cover with boiling water. Pour canning salt over pickles. Let stand 10 days.
Place a plate over pickles that fits down in the crock. They will get a moldy ring on top.

Drain and cover with boiling water. Let stand 24 hours.

Drain and put alum on pickles. Cover with boiling water for 24 hours.

Drain. Take cider vinegar, sugar, and pickles spice in a pan and bring to a boil. Pour over drained pickles. Let stand 24 hours.

Drain liquid into a pot and heat to a boiling point; pour back over pickles. Let stand 24 hours. Do this four more times.

The fourth time, heat everything (bring to a boil), including the pickles and jar (boil caps before - simmer while canning; jars clean, but not hot).
