16 c. sliced cucumbers
2 c. sliced onions
3 tbsp. salt

Put cucumbers in a gallon jar, or quarts.

Mix:

4 c. sugar
2 c. vinegar
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. powdered alum

DO NOT heat this mixture. Pour this mixture over cucumbers. Turn over jar each day (one day on top, next day on bottom), until the juice is clear, about 3 or 4 days. Do not open jars. Keep in cool place.
