Directions:
Into a clean stone jar put 2 gallons of cucumbers, washed and sliced. Regardless of size, cucumbers must be sliced, or they will shrivel. Dissolve 2 cups of salt in one gallon of boiling water and pour while hot over pickles. Then cover and weigh down pickles and let stand for 1 week. On the eighth day, drain, then pour 1 gallon of boiling water over them and let stand 24 hours. On the ninth day, drain and pour 1 gallon of boiling water with 1 tablespoon of powdered alum over the pickles and let stand 24 hours. On the following day or tenth day, drain again, pour 1-gallon boiling water over them, let stand 24 hours then drain.

For the pickling mixture, combine 5 pints of vinegar boiling hot, 6 cups of sugar, 1/2-ounce celery seed, 1-ounce cinnamon stick. Pour this over the pickles, drain off for 3 mornings, reheating it and adding 1 cup of sugar each morning. With third and last heating pack pickles into sterilized jars. Pour hot liquid over them and seal at once.
