Directions: |
Directions:Use 2 gallon pickles. Cut them through the center, no matter how small. Combine 1 pint of salt and one gallon boiling water. Pour over pickles in large crock. (can use a new, clean plastic bucket. if you don't have a crock.) Let stand 5 days. Drain. Cover with boiling water and let stand 24 hours. Drain. Cover with boiling water and a lump of alum the size of a walnut dissolved in it. Let stand 24 hours. Drain.
Slice pickles to desired size. Combine 2 qt. diluted vinegar, 8 pts. sugar and a handful of mixed spices. Bring to a boil. Pour over pickles. Repeat this four days. To preserve, place pickles in jars, pour over boiling syrup and seal jars. If your jars are hot and lids are hot, you do not need to cold pack the pickles. I usually put in dishwasher the jars and rings, put flat lids in pan of water on stovetop and heat till boiling
Can make extra syrup to fill jars with liquid to cover pickles |

Notes: In the summer when we would visit in Orangeville, PA with you girls grandmother, she always had a crock full of pickles she was making in the kitchen. Never knew which stage she was in, but everyone loved them and she enjoyed making special things for her family.
I feel I got that from her, I don't like pickles, but so enjoy making them for others. Might have to find some small cucumbers so I can start a batch for the girls and friends. Finding the pickles are the hardest thing to find. Marqueen Bankes, always loved to cook and make special food.
