Directions: |
Directions:first day: Wash and slice 1/3 inch thick 1 gallon cucumbers and add 1 gallon boiling water with 1 cup salt: let stand 24 hours.
second day: Drain off salt water and add 1 gallon boiling water with 3 1/2 ounces of powdered alum. Let stand 24 hours.
third day: Drain off alum water and add 1 gallon vinegar and pickling spices ( about a handful tied in a rag.) Let stand 24 hours.
Anytime after this, you drain off vinegar and spices. Add sugar in layers of sugar and cucumbers. This will form a syrup and are ready to eat. These pickles do not have to be sealed. I dice mine after syrup has formed so they are ready for salads when I need them. |

Notes: I have never found anybody that can beat Dena's recipe for sweet pickles. Whether I put them in potato salad or chicken salad. Everyone loves the flavor. We also use them on hot dogs and hamburgers.
And I always plant extra cucumbers, so I will have enough to make pickles.
