Cucumber Pickle Recipe

Place the cucumber in a stone jar. Make a strong brine, strong enough to

bear up an egg; pour it over them boiling hot, let them stand over

night, in the morning pour off the brine and wipe the cucumbers dry, put

them in a preserving kettle and pour over them enough cider-vinegar to

cover them; put in also the following spices for four hundred pickles:

Two ounces whole cloves, two tablespoonfuls white mustard seed, several

strips horseradish, four or five sticks cinnamon, coffee-cupful brown

sugar, two ounces allspice, four small red peppers cut in small pieces

and the seed taken out, three onions sliced. Let all come to a boil,

boil for five minutes, and put boiling hot over cucumbers.
