4 lbs. sm. cucumbers, sliced thick
1/3 c. canning salt

Sprinkle salt over cucumbers. Bring to boiling enough water to completely cover cucumber slices. Let stand 5 hours; drain and rinse well. Use a wooden spoon to stir.

Meanwhile, heat to boiling: 1 c. sugar 1 tsp. celery seed 2 tbsp. mixed pickling spices 2 tbsp. mustard seed 1 heaping tbsp. alum

Pour over cucumbers which have been placed in a crock or glass container. Place a large plate upside down over the cucumbers using a weight on top of the plate to keep cucumber under the liquid. Add 1 cup of sugar every day for 5 days and stir well. Ready to eat. May leave in crock or put in glass jars with lids. I make three to four recipes at a time.

(I received this recipe from a friend sometime ago.)
