14 Day Pickles

50-100 small cukes cut lengthwise

Put cucumbers in 1 gallon of boiling water with one pint of canning salt. Let this mixture stand for 7 days and stir each day.

Drain on the 7th day. Pour boiling water over them and let them stand for 24 hours.

Drain again and pout boiling water with 1 Tablespoon of Alum over cukes and let stand for 24 hours.

Drain this mixture off and rinse pickles with cold water and repack in jar. Boil 2 and ½ quarts of vinegar with 8 pints of sugar. Pour over cucumbers. Put 3 Tablespoons pickling spice tied up in cheesecloth and put in jar with cukes and vinegar mixture to soak.

For 4 days, drain mixture and heat to boiling and pour over cukes days. After four days of reheating the vinegar mixture, pack your cukes into jars and bring the mixture to a boil and pour over pickles and seal.
