Two gallons of vinegar, one-half pound of ground mustard, one-quarter of a pound of cloves, one-quarter of a pound of allspice (whole), one-quarter pound of tumeric,two ounces of mace, four pounds of brown sugar, one ounce of red pepper, one-quarter pound of celery seed, one pound of white mustard seed, one pound of black mustard seed, one pound of white ginger root. Mix all together cold. Let the cucumbers or whatever you want to pickle lie in LeRoy salt and water three, or four days, then in weak vinegar one day.

Cucumber Pickles

Wash with care your cucumbers and place in jars, make a weak brine, a handful of LeRoy salt to one and one-half gallons of water. When scalding hot turn over the cucumbers and cover. Repeat the process three mornings in succession taking care to skim thoroughly. On the fourth morning have ready a porcelain kettle of vinegar to which has been added a piece of alum the size of a walnut. When scalding hot put in as many cucumbers as may be covered with this vinegar, do not let them boil but skim off as soon as scalded through and replace with others, adding each time a piece of alum. When this is through throw out the vinegar and replace with good cider vinegar, add spices, mustard seed and red peppers. Sort the pickles and put in glass jars. Green peppers are best as they are not as apt to become soft. "Home Cook Book".

Pickled Cucumbers

Six hundred smalt cucumbers, two quarts of peppers, two quarts of small onions. Make enough brine to cover the pickles, allowing one pint of LeRoy salt to four quarts of water and pour it boiling hot over the pickles. Let them stand until the next morning, then pour off the brine, throw it away, make a new one and scald again. The third morning scald this same brine and pour it over again. The fourth morning rinse the pickles well in cold water and cover them with boiling vinegar. Add a little piece of alum and two tablespoons each of whole cloves and allspice tied in a bit of muslin, if you like the spice. Mrs. Bunn.
