24 med. cucumbers
1/2 c. coarse salt
1 tsp. curry powder
2 c. vinegar
2 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. mustard seed

Wash cucumbers and cut into thin slices but do not peel. Mix together salt and 8 cups water and pour over cucumber slices. Cover and let stand 5 hours at room temperature. Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Drain again. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add cucumber slices and return to boil. Remove from heat immediately and pack into clean hot pint jars, leaving 1/8 inch headspace. Seal immediately. Process 5 minutes in boiling-water bath.
