cucumbers (as many as needed)
6 garlic cloves (for each jar)
1/8 tsp. alum (per jar)
1 quart vinegar
1 bunch dill (per jar)
1 tsp. mustard seed (per jar)
2 quarts water
1 cup salt

Wash cucumbers and pack as many as possible into sterile gallon glass jars. In each jar, put dill, garlic cloves, mustard seed and alum.

In a kettle, boil vinegar, water and salt for 5 minutes or more. This makes 3 1/2 gallons. You may need to double recipe, depending on how many jars you plan on doing.

Pour this mixture into jars and fill to top, then seal.
