35 cucumbers, sliced about size of a dollar in diameter
1 qt. vinegar
2 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. powdered alum
7 tbsp. salt
Water to cover
1 tsp. celery seeds
1 tsp. white mustard seed
1 red pepper, chopped

Solution for pickles: vinegar, sugar, alum, celery seed, mustard seed and red pepper. Boil pickle slices in this solution for 10 minutes. Don't put in red pepper until nearly done as they discolor the vinegar. Put pickles in pint jars, cover with vinegar solution and seal.
