1 gallon cucumbers (cut in strips)
1/2 c. salt
2 tbsp. alum
Vinegar (enough to cover cucumbers)
1 tsp. tumeric
All spice (about 3 tbsp.)
9 c. sugar

Pack cucumbers in gallon jar. Pour salt over and cover with water. Soak for 3 days. Rinse in 3 clear waters. Soak in alum and water for 24 hours. Rinse in 3 clear waters. Pour vinegar over (enough to cover all cucumbers). Soak for 7 days. Drain. Add turmeric and spice (in cloth size of golf ball) and 3 cups sugar. Add 3 cups sugar on second day. Add 3 cups sugar on third day. The sugar makes the liquid. (Be sure and drain the vinegar off) after all sugar is soaked in cucumbers and strips are covered with liquid, put in jars or keep in gallon jar.
